Fulda (dpa / lhe) - After two almost simultaneous knife attacks on Shrove Monday in Fulda, the police are investigating the background. According to a police spokesman, there is no evidence of a connection between the two crimes. Three men suffered stab wounds in downtown Fulda on Monday evening. Among them was a 25-year-old with life-threatening injuries, as the Fulda public prosecutor and the East Hesse police headquarters announced on Tuesday.
A 24-year-old is said to have stabbed the 25-year-old twice with a knife during an altercation in the parking lot of a shopping center. The act is said to have been preceded by an initial verbal dispute. The 24-year-old also suffered serious injuries from being hit. Both were taken to hospitals. The exact background of the case was initially unclear.
A few minutes earlier, two men had been seriously injured in an argument in front of a bar. According to previous knowledge, several people bumped into each other in the entrance area of the restaurant, and a 21-year-old and a 24-year-old man suffered stab wounds. Both are in stable condition in the hospital. So far it is unclear which weapon was used. A man has been arrested. Whether he caused the stab wounds is now the subject of the investigation. The background to this act was initially unclear. Investigators are hoping for witnesses.
