A 15-year-old tried to injure a family man in Wolfsburg with a knife.
The man was able to protect himself by evasive movements, as the police announced on Friday.
The partner was able to call the police on Thursday afternoon during the attack, who caught the youth.
After the personal details had been established, the young person was handed over to his parents.
Wolfsburg - According to the police report, the man recognized the boy after he had threatened him with a knife a few days earlier.
At that time, the young person fled unrecognized, but on Thursday the victim wanted to confront him and held him.
The young man tore himself loose, drew the knife and made stab movements.
He is now being investigated for attempted dangerous bodily harm and threat.
The knife was seized.
