North Rhine-Westphalia: Attack on a man in the facility: suspected roommates

Hamm (dpa / lnw) - A 62-year-old man was critically injured by several knife wounds in a facility for those in need of care with addictions in Hamm. His 48-year-old roommate was urgently suspected and provisionally arrested, police and prosecutors said on Thursday. However, the man denies the crime and refers to another, previously unknown man, who, according to him, is said to have stabbed.

The 62-year-old was found in his room in the facility early Wednesday morning. He underwent an emergency operation and is now said to be out of danger, according to investigators. The suspect was due to appear before a magistrate on Thursday.
