She found herself ambushed in the corridor. - Intoxicated man assaults woman using a kitchen knife.

On a Monday morning in the northwest part of Rostock, located in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, a shocking incident emerged. A 32-year-old man from Eritrea lay in wait for a 33-year-old woman in an apartment building's hallway. As the woman left her apartment with her children, the man attempted to stab her with a kitchen knife.

Remarkably, the 33-year-old successfully defended herself, although she sustained minor injuries on her arm. Her attacker hurt his own hands in the process. Thankfully, the children were left unharmed.

In a peculiar twist, the aggressor released his victim and fled from the scene. He discarded the knife he'd used as he escaped. Later on, the man himself contacted the police, self-surrendering and admitting to the crime.

Just minutes after the assault, the urban district's police arrived at Taklerring, bringing with them multiple patrol cars. This rapid response led to the arrest of the heavily intoxicated attacker on the streets of Lichtenhagen's Hammer-Markt. An alcohol test revealed that he had a blood alcohol content of 2.04 per mille.

According to spokesperson Katja Weizel from the Rostock police, the roots of this crime are under further examination, with a potential relationship between the victim and perpetrator not ruled out.

Both the victim and the accused were transported to a hospital for treatment of their wounds.

Authorities brought in a police tracking dog to search for the knife but have since managed to locate the murder weapon.

Investigations are ongoing regarding the charge of causing bodily harm. Additionally, authorities are considering if a more serious offense has taken place. Interviews with those involved and any potential witnesses are underway.
