Two young suspects sought after knife attack on 10-year-old in Wiesbaden

A 10-year-old boy was injured in a knife attack in Wiesbaden-Klarenthal on Sunday afternoon. The incident involved two older children following a verbal argument. Police are now searching for the suspects, both aged between 12 and 14.

The attack took place after a disagreement between the victim and the two suspects. They punched the boy and then used a knife, causing injuries. The child received immediate medical treatment at the scene but did not need hospital care.

Authorities described the first suspect as wearing a dark winter hat with white detailing, a dark jacket, dark trousers, dark shoes, and a dark fanny pack. The second suspect was dressed in a khaki jacket and a similar dark winter hat.

Police have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Both suspects are believed to have light skin and were last seen in the area shortly after the assault.

The investigation remains ongoing as officers work to identify the two young attackers. The victim's injuries were treated on-site, but the incident has raised concerns in the local community. Authorities continue to gather details about the confrontation and the events leading up to it.
