A 27-year-old man was stabbed several times with a knife at Ostpreußenplatz in Hamburg-Wandsbek at around 12:30 p.m. on 1 November. According to the investigation so far, he and the 34-year-old suspect had been at a snack bar near Wandsbek-Gartenstadt underground station independently of each other. The 34-year-old followed him outside, attacked him and stabbed him after he fell. Two witnesses held the suspect until police arrived. The 27-year-old was taken to hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries; the latest report said his life was no longer in danger. A judge ordered the 34-year-old held in pre-trial detention on suspicion of attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily harm. The motive remains unclear, and a homicide unit is investigating.
