Machete displayed during altercation at Köthen market square
An altercation broke out at Köthen market square at about 1 p.m. on 10 March, apparently after music was being played. According to initial inquiries, two men asked a minor to turn off the music; during the ensuing dispute, one of them allegedly struck the minor lightly in the face with a glass bottle. Later, one of the men allegedly made as if to swing a machete at the minor but did not carry out the blow. After the men ran into a nearby park, the minor pursued them carrying a large piece of wood. Police stopped the two suspects in the town centre, and inquiries into the background continue.
