Overview

• Around 1 a.m., a dispute at a private party in Merching escalated as five uninvited, intoxicated men attacked a 22-year-old guest.
• The victim was beaten to the ground and kicked in the head, sustaining massive facial hematomas before being taken to hospital.
• He received treatment and was discharged, and officers later located him at home.
• Two assailants fled the scene but were caught during a police search, while three others were seen entering a taxi.
• A Bobingen patrol stopped that taxi near Königsbrunn and checked its occupants, and all five suspects from the Augsburg city area will be charged with dangerous bodily harm as seven patrols responded.
