A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder in connection with a stabbing at Præstebakken in Esbjerg on Tuesday night, where two men were seriously injured.
This is stated by the South and Southern Jutland Police in a press release.
Several cars were present when a fight broke out on the street. The fight ended with two men aged 20 and 25 being stabbed with a knife. They were seriously injured but are out of life danger.
Earlier Thursday, police said they had identified all of the vehicles involved in the episode. Two of them have been found left in a parking lot at Store Darum.
The police apparently do not know the motive for the clash, but have previously stated that it can not be ruled out that there is a showdown in the gang environment.
Two gangs from Kvaglund and Stengårdsvej, respectively, have had a strained relationship with each other for years and have previously been in open conflict. However, there has been silence around them for a while.
Already on the night before Wednesday, the police carried out several searches in Esbjerg in connection with the investigation of the stabbing. Three people were arrested, but they were subsequently released again.
Thursday’s arrest took place at 16.44 in connection with a search on Marbækvej in Esbjerg.
On Friday, the prosecution will decide whether the 27-year-old should be produced in constitutional interrogation with a claim for custody.
