Three days after a fight in Düsseldorf's old town, a 19-year-old died from serious injuries.
He died on Tuesday in a hospital in the state capital, as the public prosecutor and the police announced together.
After initial investigations, a stranger had injured him with a glass bottle and then fled.
According to the police, the brawl occurred on Burgplatz in the old town near the Rhine promenade.
Afterwards, witnesses reported an injured man to the police.
Even during the rescue operations, his injuries had proven to be "acute" life-threatening.
The 19-year-old had to undergo emergency surgery that night.
