After the life-threatening attack on an 18-year-old in Hof, the police arrested three suspects. They are in custody, the police said on Friday. They must answer to charges of attempted murder. The group got into a fight with two men, aged 18 and 25, Friday a week ago. An 18-year-old attacker pulled out a knife and repeatedly stabbed the teenager of the same age in the back, police said. He suffered serious injuries to his back and lungs.
The search for the fugitives was initially unsuccessful. Only through further investigations did the police find their way. They were arrested on Thursday. The three have been in custody since Friday. It was not known why they attacked the two men.
