A 52-year-old man was seriously injured in the argument when he was presumably attacked by two men aged 38 and 45 years. The alarmed emergency services were able to arrest the alleged perpetrators on site and take them to the office at the Wall of College, where they were waiting for their further course. According to initial investigations, the act of violence was preceded by a suspected purchase of drugs, which also makes the circumstances of the crime complicated.

Investigations are on

Despite the arrests, the two suspects were released after the police measures were completed. The investigation continues and the police call on possible witnesses to report. Such incidents arouse in the population, especially in view of the clear increasing tendency in violent crime. The investigators are working on clarifying the exact circumstances of the crime and finding out how deep the entanglements in drug crime are really behind this attack.

The police have made a goal of better understanding the background and interdependencies. The increase in violent acts and the associated risks require creative and effective solutions to counteract such incidents in the future.
