There was a dispute between three people in Nuremberg at the weekend.

A man was seriously injured by a stab wound.

Nuremberg – Early on Saturday morning (March 12), a serious altercation between three people occurred in Nuremberg, which ended in blood.

According to the police headquarters in Central Franconia, it is still completely unclear why the serious dispute came about.  

Knife fight in the company building in Nuremberg: one person seriously injured

According to the investigation so far, the three people were in a company building on Sigmundstrasse when the situation suddenly escalated.

A normal argument quickly turned deadly serious.

One of the two perpetrators pulled out a knife and tried to stab the 26-year-old victim.

This could just fend off the attack with the hand and prevent the worst.

After the crime, the two suspects, who are said to have been named "Phil" and "Edu," fled the building.  

Shortly thereafter, the rescue service delivered the 26-year-old man to the hospital, who was badly injured in his hand.

According to the Central Franconia police, the three people involved are said to have stayed in an Erlangen club and then visited a fast food restaurant on Sigmundstrasse.

They were traveling in a white BMW with Nuremberg license plates.
