After a fight in Düsseldorf's old town with a critically injured person, the search for the perpetrator continues.
There has not yet been an arrest, and the background and motivation are still unclear, said a police spokesman on Monday upon request.
Düsseldorf - An as yet unknown attacker had attacked a 19-year-old with a glass bottle on Saturday night in a fight with several participants so severely that he had to be operated on during the night.
His life was in danger, but was stable on Sunday.
The police had set up a homicide squad on suspicion of an attempted homicide and are still looking for witnesses who can provide clues about the suspect.
Most recently, riots by young people and attacks on police officers in Düsseldorf's old town made headlines in the summer.
