Investigators from the homicide unit are pursuing an attempted‑murder case after a machete attack left a 19‑year‑old gravely injured, with a 52‑year‑old briefly detained and a key suspect still sought.

Overview

  • Police report more than 30 participants in the August 19 fight in Schwabing‑Freimann, where a machete was used and a 19‑year‑old suffered severe injuries, triggering a Mordkommission investigation for attempted murder.
  • During an early‑morning search on Max‑Bill‑Straße, a 52‑year‑old fired a blank pistol at officers, who responded with at least two warning shots; no one was injured.
  • The 52‑year‑old was arrested and released the same day and is now under investigation for attempted dangerous bodily harm related to the raid.
  • Investigators searched multiple apartments to secure evidence and seized a machete, while several suspects from the original brawl fled before police arrived.
