Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - Instead of settling a dispute with his ex-partner, a 51-year-old attacked her and her new boyfriend. The 22-year-old and the 20-year-old were slightly injured on Sunday night on a street in Frankfurt's Gallus district, the police said. According to initial investigations, the former couple met at 1:30 a.m. to resolve the dispute from the previous day.
The 51-year-old was accompanied by a 39-year-old. The two men first hit the woman's new boyfriend with their fists, then the 51-year-old hit him with a baseball bat, police said. On the ground, the 20-year-old continued to be kicked and beaten. The 39-year-old also pushed the woman to the ground.
Two women prevented further attacks, the police reported. The victims were able to escape. At the scene of the crime, the officers found shell casings from a blank gun, but were unable to find the attackers they knew when they searched their homes.
