Nuremberg: three men attack two others - victims suffer injuries
Three men are said to have approached two other men aged 21 and 22 at the Fleischbrücke in Nuremberg * on Thursday night at around 12:15 a.m. They asked the young men to give them their wallets. However, the two men did not comply. This probably made the three so angry that they beat their victims. They then fled - without prey.
The ambulance service had to take the 22-year-old to a hospital to take care of the injuries.
His 21-year-old companion was slightly injured.
In the course of the search, which was initiated immediately, police officers were able to arrest two suspects, aged 21 and 23, a short time later.
The specialist commissioner of the Nuremberg Criminal Police is now investigating the suspected suspects on suspicion of extortion by robbery.
In addition, the investigation into the identity of the third suspect is ongoing.
