Report circulating on the Internet about an attack by three migrants on a German in Bautzen at the end of January is, according to the police, fictitious. A knife is said to have played a role in the altercation on the night of January 26th to 27th.

It was “curious” that the supposedly injured person with a cut spoke up on Instagram but did not inform the police. "The Internet is not a legal vacuum," warned the police and called for caution when evaluating and distributing posts.
