Hunt continues for neo-Nazis who stabbed police chief
[Continue reading]
Two men arrested on suspicion of being the neo-Nazis who stabbed a German police chief have been released without charge.
Alois Mannichl (52), the head of police in Passau, Bavaria, was attacked and left for dead on his own doorstep in the town of Fuerstenzell when he unwittingly answered the door to skinhead neo-Nazis.
One of the culprits sank a knife 11cm into his torso and shouted: “Greetings from the national resistance! You left-wing pig, never trample around on the graves of our comrades!”
Mannichl survived the attack but needed emergency surgery, with the knife only just missing his heart.
The police chief has actively worked against neo-Nazism and has become a hate figure amongst right wing extremists.
