Osnabrück (dpa / lni) - In the process of a knife attack in a snack bar, the Osnabrück district court wants to announce a verdict on Thursday next week.

The regional court announced on Friday.

A 32-year-old man is on trial, alleged to have injured two other men with a knife in an argument in March last year.

The dispute arose over a post by the defendant on Instagram about the Syrian civil war.

The charges were attempted manslaughter and dangerous physical harm.

After the end of the taking of evidence, however, the public prosecutor's office no longer upheld the allegation of attempted manslaughter and pleaded dangerous bodily harm.

The lawyers of the co-plaintiffs who represent the two victims, however, found an attempted manslaughter confirmed in the proceedings.

The defendant's attorney saw the behavior of his client as self-defense because he saw himself surrounded and attacked by a group of men.

The defendant, who is currently in custody, apologized to the two victims for the injuries.
