The incident occurred on July 7 this year. The person who was stabbed suffered a skeletal injury in the eye socket and was injured by another stabbing on his left arm. The injury to the left eye may have been life-threatening and could lead to visual impairment, according to prosecutors.

The man is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and aggravated unlawful threat. In an interrogation with the police, the man says that he was stabbed, but he denies that he committed any crime.
