BERLIN (AP) — A man has been arrested in connection with a weekend knife attack on a tram in the German city of Dresden in which an American national was wounded, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The 20-year-old male victim was attacked just after midnight on Sunday while the tram was at a stop. Police said that he intervened when two men harassed a woman on board the tram and was then attacked himself before the men fled. He sustained a deep wound to the face.
