Bauma exhibitor employee attacks boss

Tue 20th Apr, 2010

An employee of an exhibiting company at the "bauma" fair stabbed his boss on the head and injured her seriously. What the disagreement was about is still unclear.

At the world's largest construction equipment exhibition "bauma", two employees of the same exhibitor, a man and a woman, apparently fell into a dispute. In the middle of the fair, around 5 p.m. the confrontation escalated to the point where the man grabbed the knife and stabbed the woman in her head. The police confirmed the woman was seriously injured by the knife attack.

The police arrived after a few minutes and had to lock off parts of the exhibition area. The offender was immediately arrested and interrogated the same evening. The woman was taken to the hospital and provided with emergency help: she is now out of danger.
