60-year-old defends attackers with martial arts techniques
Edenkoben A pedestrian attacked a 60-year-old in Edenkoben (Südliche Weinstrasse district) and knocked him off his bike. The 60-year-old was able to fend off further attacks by the 34-year-old on Sunday morning with skillful judo grips and bring the attacker to the ground, the police said.
Apparently the 60-year-old used to be a martial artist. The 34-year-old then fled. The police were able to find and arrest him a little later. Both men were slightly injured in the attack.
During the inspection, the officers found two knives on the 34-year-old. In addition, the man had “repeatedly expressed suicidal intentions”. The police took him to a mental hospital. Criminal proceedings await him.
