He apparently coughed at people indiscriminately. When a man asked him to stop, a Somali man (27) allegedly threatened him with death on Monday afternoon and stabbed him in the direction of his neck with a knife!
The man, who had caused a major police operation in Waltershausen (Thuringia), was held in custody until 11.34 pm on Tuesday. Then he was taken to prison. At around 5.30 pm, the African is said to have started a fight in front of the Netto supermarket in August-Trinius-Straße and threatened customers who were shopping. A 46-year-old man from Waltershausen was slightly injured by a knife attack.
The public prosecutor’s office in Erfurt is now investigating the accused for attempted manslaughter, causing grievous bodily harm and threatening behaviour.
Senior public prosecutor Hannes Grünseisen: ‘The accused allegedly said to the injured party and other people “I’ll kill you and your families”. He then allegedly stabbed the injured party in the direction of his neck with a knife, accepting his death. ‘Fortunately, the injured party was able to evade and was only slightly injured in the back despite being stabbed several times by the attacker, who already had a criminal record for violent offences. Witnesses intervened and called the emergency services. When the police arrived with around 30 officers, the intoxicated man from Somalia was arrested without resistance and the public prosecutor’s office in Erfurt issued an arrest warrant at Gotha district court.
But time was running out for the arrest presentation: the appointment scheduled for the afternoon in Gotha was cancelled because the interpreter who had been appointed did not turn up. However, the accused must be brought before the magistrate within 24 hours, otherwise the knife-wielding Somali, who was presented wearing an FFP2 mask, would have had to be released. The judge’s decision was therefore made in Erfurt and took almost until midnight.
The man faces up to 15 years in prison.
