Knife Attack Severely Injures Bar Operator in Nürnberg

A homicide commission has taken over the inquiry, with an investigative judge due to decide on pretrial detention.

Overview

  • A 31-year-old man allegedly stabbed the 52-year-old operator of a bar in the Schoppershof district, and the attack left her with serious chest injuries.
  • Several patrons restrained the suspect until officers from Polizeiinspektion Nürnberg-Ost arrived and arrested him at the scene.
  • Emergency medics treated the operator and transported her to hospital while a 44-year-old employee suffered minor injuries and received care.
  • Investigators from the Kriminaldauerdienst secured evidence at the Fritz-von-Röth-Straße bar and the Nürnberger Mordkommission is now investigating on suspicion of attempted manslaughter.
  • The suspect is to be presented to an investigative judge at Amtsgericht Nürnberg to determine pretrial detention, and the published account comes from a Polizeipräsidium Mittelfranken press release that was not editorially verified.
