German police appeal for images taken of attack in which Americans were pushed down sleep slope

BERLIN (AP) — German police are appealing for photos and videos of an attack near Neuschwanstein castle in which an American man allegedly pushed two women down a steep slope, killing one of them. A suspect was arrested following Wednesday’s attack. German news agency dpa quoted police as saying they have received about a dozen submissions on a specially created website. But they assume many more images were taken by tourists present at the site. Police say the suspect met the women on a hiking path and lured them onto a trail that leads to a viewpoint before attacking them. Both women were recovered by mountain rescuers. One was flown to a hospital with serious injuries and later died.
