Baden-Württemberg: Young man injured in knife attack in Pforzheim

Pforzheim (dpa / lsw) - A man is said to have been attacked and injured in Pforzheim by a 39-year-old with a knife. As the police and prosecutors announced on Sunday, there had previously been an exchange of words between the 39-year-old and the younger man and his companion on the station square. The 39-year-old then suddenly attacked the man in his mid-20s with a knife on Sunday night. The victim needed emergency treatment and was taken to a hospital.

The police initially did not provide any further information on the severity of the injuries. But there is no danger to life, it said. Police officers arrested the 39-year-old a little later. The police are investigating the background to the crime.
