Man detained after knife attack at Offenbach market square

A 38-year-old man is alleged to have attacked a 19-year-old with a knife at the market square in Offenbach on Thursday evening. In a call to police at about 6:50 p.m., the younger man said that the older man had run towards him holding a knife and making attacking movements. The 19-year-old stepped back and ran away; no injuries were reported. The alleged attacker initially also fled but was provisionally detained minutes later. Police seized a utility knife from him and are investigating on suspicion of attempted dangerous bodily harm.
