Man allegedly threatened wife with knife in Halle
A 50-year-old man allegedly assaulted his wife, who lived in an apartment in Halle (Saale), on 19 March and threatened to use a knife again. When another tenant tried to help the woman, she too was allegedly assaulted, police said. The two women and a third person then fled to a neighbouring building.
Police located the suspect near the apartment building and provisionally detained him. Before officers entered the apartment, they noticed smoke, and firefighters extinguished a fire. Police are investigating, among other allegations, assault, threats and aggravated arson. A decision on seeking pre-trial detention was still pending.
