Bavaria: Man injured in argument with shot from compressed air pistol

Fürth (dpa / lby) - In a dispute between three men, a 47-year-old was injured with a gun in Fürth, and a 19-year-old suffered cuts. Together with the 19-year-old's former girlfriend, a 21-year-old came to the apartment on Saturday, a police spokesman said on Sunday. There was probably a fight between the ex-partners and then between the three men. The 21-year-old is said to have added "massive facial injuries" to the 47-year-old with a shot from a compressed air gun. How and by whom the 19-year-old was injured was still unclear.

A neighbor noticed the argument at their apartment door and dialed the emergency call, it said. Several patrols and a support command then moved out. The officers then found the firearm and a knife on site.

The 21-year-old was arrested and should be brought before an investigating judge on Sunday. This decides whether the man has to be in custody.
