Separate incidents in Bitburg and Neumünster involve assaults on women by their former partners, resulting in serious and minor injuries.

In Bitburg, a woman sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries after a knife attack allegedly carried out by her estranged husband on Sunday.
The suspect in the Bitburg case was arrested at the scene and has been charged with attempted manslaughter; he remains in custody following a court appearance on Monday.
Police were called to the Bitburg incident, which occurred during a dispute at a local airfield, where the woman was injured and later hospitalized.
