On Monday, June 19, 2023, an unfortunate incident occurred in the city of Basel, Switzerland, outside a bar, leading to the stabbing of a Nigerian man. The incident unfolded around 7:15 p.m. and involved a confrontation after a teenager attempted to steal a wallet from a passerby.
According to witnesses, another individual intervened to help the robbery victim, but the situation quickly turned violent. The assailant stabbed the person who stepped in to assist in the thigh. Emergency responders arrived and found a 37-year-old Nigerian man bleeding heavily. The severity of the Nigerian’s condition necessitated an immediate rush to the hospital.
Law enforcement authorities arrested and placed in custody a 14-year-old Algerian suspect. However, a second suspect, a North African male in his 20s, remained at large as of the latest available updates.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and legal proceedings will continue as authorities work to gather more information about the attack.
