Berlin (dpa / bb) - Two men were seriously injured in a family dispute in the Lichtenberg district of Neu-Hohenschönhausen.

A 45-year-old father and his 19-year-old son clashed on Friday evening in an apartment on Nienhagener Strasse, the police announced on Saturday.

The young man is said to have attacked his father with a knife and seriously injured him.

His 23 year old brother supported him with his hands.

When a 31-year-old uncle tried to settle the dispute, he was also injured in the arm by the knife.

The 19-year-old fled from the alarmed police and his brother was temporarily arrested.

Father and uncle were taken to a hospital.

The reason for the dispute and the exact course of events were initially unclear.
