BERLIN (AP) — Police say a man apparently attacked a woman and a 7-year-old girl with a knife at an elementary school in southwestern Germany and then fled. The school in Esslingen, near Stuttgart, was closed for a regional vacation on Friday but some children were being looked after there during the holiday. The girl and the woman, a 61-year-old supervisor, were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening. Police said in a statement that officers were looking for a suspect, who was described as being in his early 30s. Investigators also are gathering information about the circumstances surrounding the attack, which happened around 8 a.m.
