Three men were injured, some critically, in an attack with a Japanese long sword in a bistro in Neu-Ulm. A 55-year-old and an 81- year-old had to be operated on immediately, the Swabia South/West police headquarters announced on Thursday.
Another guest, aged 56, who overpowered the attacker, escaped with a minor cut. The suspect was brought before the magistrate on Thursday and was then taken to a district hospital. Officials assume that the man was in an exceptional psychological state.
