Leipzig (dpa / sn) - Two people were injured in a dispute on Eisenbahnstrasse in Leipzig.

The two 27 and 30-year-old men were attacked by a group of around 20 people on Thursday afternoon, a police spokesman said.

You were taken to a hospital.

The attackers fled before the emergency services arrived.

The police have started investigations into a serious breach of the peace.

The Eisenbahnstraße is considered to be the focus of crime in Leipzig.

In November 2018, a gun ban zone was set up on the street.

It is supposed to increase security in the area.

Weapons that fall under the gun law may not be carried in the area and the police may check regardless of suspicion.

Fatal shots were fired on the street in 2016 during an argument in the rocker milieu.
