Two suspects (23 and 41 years old) – also of Syrian origin – have already been arrested on site. The other people involved are not yet known to the investigators.
“The background to the incident is still unclear,” a police spokesman said on Tuesday. Investigations into grievous bodily harm have begun.
In addition to the police and rescue services, a large contingent of firefighters was also deployed. When the alarm was raised, the control center initially assumed that there was a mass casualty incident (MANV). The operation was over after about two and a half hours.
