A pleasant Sunday afternoon in a café in the German city of Bochum came to an abrupt end when a man suddenly poured an acidic liquid over a customer. The victim suffered serious injuries and other people, including police and firefighters, are said to have come into contact with the substance.
A woman sitting at the same table and a waitress were also injured. Two other guests who witnessed the event suffered shocks. While treating the injured, police officers and firefighters also came into contact with the acid and were also injured.
The homicide unit has started an investigation
A police spokesman said the guests had been drinking coffee and eating cake in a “very relaxed manner” shortly before the attack. The suspect (43) was arrested nearby shortly after the attack. A hit squad searched his apartment in Bergkamen, about 32 kilometres away (as the crow flies), on Monday evening. Investigators remained tight-lipped about the motive and background of the attack.
It is still unclear which liquid was involved. Studies will now clarify this question.
