Munich

- At a subway station on the U2 line in the east of Munich, a dispute between young people escalated on Saturday evening, October 23.

A stabbing weapon was also used.

An 18-year-old was injured.

As the police in Munich announced, the officers were first called late in the evening to the Karl-Preis-Platz underground station in Munich-Ramersdorf.

There two youth groups were involved in a heated argument.

Witnesses had called the police after, among other things, pepper spray had apparently been used by some of those involved.

In addition, a shot was fired, according to the testimony of witnesses.

However, this is now considered refuted.

Munich: dispute at the underground station escalates - witnesses call the police - young people flee

When the officers reached the platform, they found the 18-year-old injured there.

He had a stab or cut wound and was brought to a hospital by the ambulance service that was also called.

The other parties involved in the dispute were initially able to flee unrecognized.

A police spokesman said on Sunday morning that the manhunt was ongoing, but it still had no result.

After a dispute at Munich subway station: Police are looking for young people involved

In total, the police are looking for at least seven people. At least two other young people are said to have belonged to the group around the injured person. The group of young people, one of whom apparently injured the 18-year-old, is said to have consisted of at least five people. Due to the presence of many witnesses and a very full platform at the time of the crime, no precise information on the number of people involved in the incident can be made, according to a police spokesman. The reason for the dispute is also not yet known. During the police operation, the U2 trains did not stop at Karl-Preis-Platz for a short time.

At the Planegg S-Bahn station near Munich, a dispute between young people (15, 17) also escalated last year.

The younger one rammed a knife into the older one in the stomach.

Then the perpetrator known to the police fled.
