The conflict between two men began to gather momentum on Tuesday around two in the parking lot in front of the department store, and the dispute was then supposed to escalate inside the shopping center.
“One of the men here after the other was supposed to throw the loudspeaker he had with him and run away from the scene. He allegedly also had a knife with him, but he didn’t hurt anyone with it,” explained police spokesman Jakub Kopřiva.
The attacked seventy-three-year-old man suffered injuries and ended up in the care of doctors. “On the spot, we took care of a seventy-three-year-old man who, after treatment, was transported to the hospital with a minor injury,” added regional ambulance spokeswoman Simona Kratochvílová.
The attacker himself was identified and tracked down in Mariánské Lázně after just a few hours. Cheb criminal investigators have already started initial actions in the whole matter. “We thank the media and citizens for their help in the search,” added police spokesman Jan Bílek.
