Two visitors threatened with knife at Christmas market in Dessau-Roßlau

At the “Advent in den Höfen” event in Dessau's Mosigkau district, an 18-year-old is alleged to have threatened two visitors with a one-handed knife on 6 December. Police said the man had previously behaved aggressively and was supposed to leave the event. During the subsequent dispute, he allegedly threatened the visitors, and people present secured the knife. A physical altercation later occurred between the suspect and several visitors. After establishing his identity, police took him home and issued an exclusion order for the venue.
