BERLIN (AP) — Investigators said Wednesday that the newly elected mayor of a German town who was found at her home with stab wounds apparently was attacked by her teenage daughter, and that her life is no longer in danger.

Iris Stalzer, 57, was elected as the mayor of Herdecke in western Germany on Sept. 28 and is due to take office on Nov. 1. Police said emergency services were alerted shortly after noon Tuesday by her daughter, who reported that Stalzer had been seriously wounded outside her house in an attempted robbery.

Police went to Stalzer’s house, where they found her sitting in a chair with multiple stab wounds and determined that the attack appeared to have happened indoors. She was flown to a hospital by helicopter. Police said Wednesday that she is now out of danger.
