Elderly individual viciously assaulted, left in critical condition

A 52-year-old man was the victim of a violent assault in Dortmund on Friday evening. The incident, which left the man with life-threatening injuries, has sparked a homicide investigation.

According to reports, the assault took place outside a sports hall, where the victim was found on a sidewalk. Emergency services were promptly called, and the man was taken to hospital.

The suspected perpetrators in the attack are several men who allegedly beat the victim and injured him with a sharp object after a dispute. The men fled the scene, and the investigation into the fleeing suspects has been unsuccessful so far.

A homicide unit has taken over the investigation, and the prosecutor's office spokesperson has confirmed that there are video recordings that may show the suspects. Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information that could help identify the attackers.

The victim has since been questioned by prosecutors, and the latest update from the hospital indicates that he is currently out of danger. The information about the victim's current condition was released on Sunday.

The investigation is ongoing, and no specific identities of the suspects have been disclosed yet. The authorities are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately.

This is a developing story, and more updates will be provided as they become available. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family during this difficult time.
