Shortly thereafter, passersby alerted the police that another brawl had occurred in a nearby park. Here, the victims were attacked with pepper spray and also with a knife. The perpetrators fled on e-scooters in an unknown direction.

Here too, the officers found two injured persons. A 24-year-old suffered a stab wound in the buttock area, and a 27-year-old was injured by punches and the use of pepper spray.
