A suspected perpetrator passed out during the attack on a gas station in Hamm.
As the police announced on July 2, that was exactly what happened to him at another gas station just under two weeks ago.
Now the man's placement in psychiatry is being examined.
In the current case, the 23-year-old threatened the man at the cash register with a knife on the evening of June 28.
While the victim was raising money, the robber collapsed.
The employee then took the knife away from him and informed the ambulance service and the police.
According to investigators, the same thing happened on June 22nd.
At that time, the man had volunteered to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
How many days there were between his release and the new crime was initially unclear.
