Hamburg (dpa / lno) - In an apparently escalated neighborhood dispute in the Hamburg district of Borgfelde, a 40-year-old shot a man in the face with a gas gun on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the police, the perpetrator was overpowered and provisionally arrested by police forces in the apartment building before the special task force arrived.

It was not initially clear who the injured person was.

The 40-year-old is said to have had an argument with another resident of the house.

After the fact, the man first retired to his apartment.

When he left, he was overwhelmed by officers from the Evidence and Arrest Unit.

The murder weapon was still in his waistband.
