Man threatens rival with handsaw in Duisburg
Following a dispute in Duisburg-Ruhrort on 18 March, a 70-year-old man allegedly obtained a handsaw and went to the home of his 42-year-old rival. He threatened the man with the saw and thrust through an open window toward him while he was inside his flat. The saw caught the 42-year-old's jumper, but he was not injured. After leaving the flat, the man restrained the alleged attacker until police arrived. Police are investigating the 70-year-old on suspicion of attempted dangerous bodily harm; a blood sample was taken at the request of prosecutors after a preliminary test was positive.
