The trial of a 20-year-old American woman charged in the fatal stabbing of a man at the Kaiserslautern train station last summer began today.

The woman is charged with bodily harm resulting in death after a June 29, 2024, altercation in which she stabbed a 64-year-old man who grabbed her buttocks, according to investigators. The incident was captured on security cameras.

The woman, who was born in Germany and is an American citizen, is not affiliated with the U.S. military, according to officials.
