Basel
Unknown attacked and wounded a man in a restaurant in Basel on Saturday afternoon. The police are looking for witnesses.
The 47-year-old chatted with strangers at the Café Cocktail Lounge Promenade around 2 p.m. This led to a verbal argument, as the Basel-Stadt canton prosecutor announced on Sunday. Suddenly, several people attacked him with unknown objects and beat him.
The victim managed to escape from the restaurant. Bystanders notified emergency services and the Basel-Stadt ambulance took the man with moderate injuries to the emergency room. The perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. So far, a manhunt has been unsuccessful.
