Several people were injured in a disturbing acid attack that took place in a cafe in the west German city of Bochum. The incident occurred when a man entered the cafe at approximately 3:25 p.m. and proceeded to pour an acidic liquid over a guest who was seated at a table in the outdoor area. This malicious act resulted in the victim sustaining serious injuries, as confirmed by local police in a press release.
Unfortunately, the repercussions of the attack extended beyond the initial victim. A woman who was also seated at the table with the victim, as well as a waitress, suffered injuries as well. Furthermore, during the ensuing operation, four police officers and two firefighters who came into contact with the harmful liquid also sustained injuries.
