Nigerian Man Stabbed While Assisting Robbery Victim In Switzerland [Photos]

An African teenager has been arrested after a Nigerian man was stabbed during a robbery incident outside a bar in Switzerland.

It was gathered that the incident happened at approximately 7:15 p.m. on Monday in Basel, a city located near the borders of Germany and France.

According to witnesses, the altercation unfolded when the teenager attempted to steal a wallet from a passerby, escalating into a confrontation that quickly spiraled out of control.

“Everything happened very quickly, another man wanted to help the robbery victim. Then the person who wanted to help suddenly had a knife stuck in his thigh,” One bystander told 20 Minutes.

Emergency responders swiftly arrived at the scene and discovered a 37-year-old Nigerian man bleeding profusely in the street. He was immediately transported to the hospital in serious condition.

Law enforcement officers successfully apprehended one suspect, a 14-year-old Algerian, who was taken into custody.

However, a second suspect, described as a male in his 20s of North African descent, remains at large as of the latest available updates on Tuesday.

An ongoing investigation is underway, with legal proceedings progressing to ascertain the full details surrounding the incident.

KanyiDaily had also reported how a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder stolen in Switzerland for over $260,000, was shipped to Nigeria and then moved to Ghana where it was spotted.
