Police officers with submachine guns stand in front of the access to a backyard, residents are asked to stay home: the city of Celle, in Lower Saxony, is in an uproar Monday night. Two acts of violence in different parts of the city shake the neighbors. One man dies, another is seriously injured. Two suspects are arrested. Terror excludes the police. It only seems clear that the two acts are not related. The background is still not entirely clear.
A police spokesman said police had been informed of an alleged attack by an emergency call around 8:10 pm Authorities later found a 54-year-old man seriously injured in his apartment on Harburger Strasse. The man died at the scene. A 51-year-old man who was staying in the same house was arrested. However, according to his first statements, there is only a vague suspicion.
Interim Police Warning
Shortly after, around 9 pm, the police learned from hospital staff that a 59-year-old man had been seriously injured with a knife in the Neuenhäusen district. Therefore, the man was out of danger of death after an emergency operation. According to his statement, an 18-year-old cyclist injured him with a knife while passing by. Police shared the description of the person on Twitter, but later wrote that “evidence on the suspected young rider has not been confirmed.” But a 21-year-old was arrested, the police spokesman said. According to the police, both the victims and the two detainees are German.
