Seriously Injured Person Found - Possible Case of Self-Defense - Teenager critically injured in New Year’s Day apartment confrontation in Sterbfritz

An 18-year-old was found with serious injuries inside a 60-year-old man’s apartment in Sterbfritz, Sinntal, early on New Year’s Day. The older man had called emergency services himself just after 5 a.m., prompting police to launch an investigation into the incident. The teenager was discovered heavily injured in the apartment of the 60-year-old resident. Witnesses later suggested there may have been a confrontation between the two men before police arrived. The 60-year-old was initially taken into custody but has since been released. Investigators now believe the teenager’s injuries could have resulted from an act of self-defence by the older man. Authorities have not yet confirmed how the two men knew each other. The case remains under active investigation, with all possible explanations still being considered. Police continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident. The 18-year-old’s condition and the exact sequence of events remain key points of focus. No further details have been released at this stage.
