Two people have been seriously injured in a Dortmund gym. Three men had been provisionally arrested, a police spokesman said on Monday. Because the situation was initially unclear, a special task force (SEK) was requested, which searched the studio.
Dortmund - Investigators suspect a targeted attack behind the crime. "We do not assume random victims," it said. One of the injured had suffered a stab wound. The "Bild" newspaper had previously reported on the crime.
This is reminiscent of the bloody deed in a Duisburg gym a month and a half ago. At that time, a Syrian had seriously injured four people in Duisburg. In the meantime, there are indications of a terrorist motivation in his case. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland had taken over the investigation. So far, there are no signs of a similar situation in the Dortmund case. Dpa
