Police and public prosecutors in Düsseldorf are now investigating suspected attempted manslaughter, reports 24RHEIN.

According to the investigators, neighbors had alerted the police on Wednesday morning because there had been a loud argument in an apartment on Edisonplatz in Flingern.

When the police arrived, the apartment was open.

In the apartment, the emergency services found the seriously injured 52-year-old mother.

They immediately provided first aid.

"Danger to life could not be ruled out at times," reports the police.

The police officers found the 27-year-old suspect son in the hallway on the upper floor.

He was unarmed and could be overpowered.

However, the man put up considerable resistance when being transported to the station.

A blood sample was taken from him because investigators suspect drugs or alcohol may have been involved.

The son is due to be brought before a magistrate today.

The police have not yet provided any information about the background to the crime.
