On Saturday, a 26-year-old injured a 25-year-old in Regensburg with a cutting tool.
The background is a demand for money in the drug environment.
Regensburg - On Saturday (October 16), a 25-year-old was injured with a cutting tool by a 26-year-old he knew in the early hours of the morning.
Previously, the perpetrator demanded a mid-double-digit amount of money from the injured party at around 5:30 a.m. on Humboldt-Strasse in Regensburg *.
As the Criminal Police Regensburg * writes, the monetary claim can be traced back to a drug deal.
