A brawl with an ax and a barbecue skewer at Christmas ends in a fatal accident in Germany

At a Christmas Eve celebration in Augsburg, in the southeastern German state of Bavaria, a 32-year-old man stabbed a 22-year-old man with a barbecue skewer in the stomach, causing severe wounds.

German police said that the younger man attacked the older man at first with an ax, but he managed to stop the blow and cut his hand in the process, prompting the older to stab the younger in the stomach with a barbecue skewer.

The older man escaped before later turning himself in to the police, who used their helicopter to search for him.
