A boarding house in Haar became the scene of a bloody argument: During the argument, a 22-year-old attacked a young woman with a knife and injured her so badly that she had to be taken to a hospital.

Haar - As the police reported, there was a dispute between a 26-year-old and a 22-year-old, both of whom live in the Munich district, in the room of a guesthouse on Peter-Henlein-Straße on Thursday at around 5.45 p.m. The cause of the dispute is unclear. The police also cannot say anything about the relationship between the two. In any case, the two first insulted each other before the argument escalated. When the 26-year-old wanted to leave the room, the 22-year-old tried to stop her. He hit the woman, pulled out a knife and finally injured her upper arm. The young man then fled the boarding house.

Another person present called the police on 911.

Several patrol car crews immediately advanced and searched for the fugitive.

He was eventually arrested near the scene of the crime.

The 22-year-old was reported on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm and will be brought before an investigating judge at the Munich police headquarters later today, who will decide on the further question of detention.

The injured woman was taken to a hospital in an ambulance.
