Meerbusch (dpa / lnw) - After a life-threatening attack with a bottle on a 23-year-old in Meerbusch near Düsseldorf, the police have identified a suspect. The 26-year-old was arrested one day after the fact in a light rail vehicle at his home address in Meerbusch, the investigators said on Thursday. The man can be seen in the images of a surveillance camera, it said. The public prosecutor rated the crime as attempted homicide.
According to the police, there was an argument between the two men on the drive from Düsseldorf to Krefeld on Wednesday morning. The 23-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries, apparently from a glass bottle. The alleged perpetrator then got out at a stop. It was initially unclear why the men got into an argument. The suspect is silent on the allegations. He was scheduled to appear before the magistrate on Friday.
