Machete attack after dispute in Waltrop
A 34-year-old kiosk operator was seriously injured with a machete during an altercation in Waltrop. Earlier, on 11 November, a dispute had taken place in a car park on Ziegeleistraße between a 22-year-old man and two men known to him; a car was also damaged. When the 22-year-old fled into a kiosk, one of the men injured the operator. The 22-year-old sustained minor injuries. The two suspects were arrested in Waltrop on 14 November, and investigators found two machetes and a firearm during the subsequent search. Both are in pre-trial detention after appearing before Bochum Local Court.
