Young bystander (21 years old) delivers blow to a belligerent, inebriated attacker who falls to the ground.

In the early hours of September 6, 2025, a dispute between two men took place outside the old town passage in Hof, Germany. The altercation quickly escalated into a physical fight, leading the Hof police to launch an investigation.

The incident caught the attention of a 21-year-old bystander who intervened, tackling the attacker to the ground. However, this intervention also resulted in charges of bodily harm for the bystander, along with the original combatants.

One of the men involved, a 23-year-old, sustained injuries during the dispute, including skin scrapes in the neck area. He was taken to a hospital, but the exact location and his current condition remain undisclosed. The nature of his injuries is also not specified.

During the altercation, the 23-year-old attempted a headbutt. An alcohol test revealed that he had a high blood alcohol level of 2.9 per thousand.

The 21-year-old bystander struck the attacker in the head during the intervention. Despite the lack of identification in the provided search results, there has been a previous incident involving a 26-year-old suspect in a bodily harm case in Chemnitz, connected to a 22-year-old victim.

The 23-year-old lay motionless on the ground following the intervention. The police have initiated an investigation against all parties involved in the dispute, including the bystander. The condition of the 23-year-old after his hospital visit is not provided in the article.

The motives behind the dispute and the bystander's intervention remain unclear at this time. The Hof police continue to investigate the incident to determine the full details and ensure justice is served.
