Conflict between Two Men Leads to Hospitalization of Both Parties
In the heart of Hanau, an unexpected incident unfolded last Wednesday evening near the Heinrich-Fischer-Bad and the entrance to Schlossgarten. A fight broke out, resulting in two counter-accusations of bodily harm.
According to the South East Hesse Police Headquarters, the altercation led to injuries that required both parties to be taken to hospitals for treatment. A folding knife, found at the scene, has been secured by police as a potential weapon.

The background and course of the argument are now part of the ongoing investigation. Mobile phone footage taken by witnesses will be evaluated as part of the process. Initial reports suggest that the younger man is accused of initially striking the older one, who then allegedly pulled out a knife and injured his opponent in the face.
The search results do not provide information about who reported the person filming the fight with their mobile phone. Witnesses who have not yet come forward are asked to contact Hanau Police Station at 06181 100-120.
Police are also investigating the 46-year-old man for signs of alcohol and drug use. He was found to have signs of both and was ordered to provide a blood sample and surrender a pocket knife found on him during a body search.
As the investigation continues, the South East Hesse Police Headquarters encourages anyone with information to come forward and assist in ensuring justice is served.
