As the Hof police inspection reported on Easter Monday, April 10, 2023, a family celebration at Wilhelmstraße 39 in Hof got out of hand on Easter Sunday. In Upper Franconia, a nightly argument at Easter escalated on Holy Saturday, as reported by inFranken.de. A man bit off his opponent’s finger.
In the case of Hof, an uninvited guest caused the riots. According to the police report, after entering the apartment building, the emotions of a celebrating 23-year-old boiled up, probably due to old disputes. A fierce argument ensued.
Perpetrators initially fleeting: the attacker is said to have had knives with him
The intruder was attacked by the angry man in the stairwell and apparently pushed down the stairs. According to the statements, the aggressive 23-year-old may have previously taken a knife and insulted and threatened the arrival.
However, this has not yet been clearly established. The exact course of the attack is still unclear due to gaps in the memory of the injured party. However, the man suffered a laceration and a hematoma on his head as a result of falling down the stairs.
After the 23-year-old suspect had initially fled the scene of the crime, according to the police, he was arrested when he returned by the officers who had meanwhile arrived on site. He later had to undergo a blood test, and criminal proceedings are now awaiting him.
