Landshut (dpa / lby) - In Landshut, a 46-year-old man is said to have stabbed an acquaintance and fled. As the police reported on Sunday, the alleged perpetrator, the victim and another man met on the street on Saturday evening.

There is said to have been a scuffle between the three men. The 46-year-old suddenly stabbed a 33-year-old, probably with a knife. The perpetrator inflicted such serious injuries on the younger man that the victim died a little later.

According to the previous investigations, the 33-year-old was walking in the city center with a 42-year-old acquaintance when the opponent came towards them. Then the argument broke out. The reason for this is so far unclear. However, the detective assumes that the three men knew each other.

The 46-year-old German was initially able to escape. "A search with numerous emergency services, including a police helicopter and people-search dogs, has so far been unsuccessful," said a police spokesman. But the search continues at full speed.
