One or more perpetrators fatally injured two men with a stabbing weapon in Hanover on Tuesday night. The crime scenes are close to each other.
▶︎ A previously unknown man stabbed a guest in an arcade in the Nordstadt district, a police spokeswoman said. The 45-year-old victim died at the scene. Another guest wanted to come to the victim’s aid and was also injured, but was able to receive outpatient care.

▶︎ A little later the police were called to a hotel on Hamburger Allee. A 45-year-old was also attacked there with a stabbing weapon. He died from his injuries in hospital.
There are only a few hundred meters between the two crime scenes.
Because of the local proximity and the procedure, a connection between the two crimes cannot be ruled out, said a police spokeswoman.
