Three men, armed with a baseball bat, a knife, and brass knuckles, got out and attacked the occupants of the other vehicle. The victims suffered several injuries during the assault.

Meanwhile, one person was arrested in a Würzburg call centre fraud case on March 24, 2026, while two suspects remain at large after a bank robbery attempt in Bad Griesbach on the same day.
