At least five people were injured, two of them seriously, in a dispute among biker groups on the premises of a gas station in Marktheidenfeld (Main-Spessart district). According to a police spokesman, it was a dispute between two rival groups in which stabbing weapons were also used. The police are therefore investigating attempted murder and serious breach of the peace.
According to reports, around 40 people were involved in the altercation. When the first police officers arrived, the perpetrators fled undetected. The search efforts so far have been unsuccessful. The injured were all taken to different hospitals. One victim with a stab wound was flown to a hospital by rescue helicopter. The investigation is ongoing. The police are looking for witnesses.
