Blotter Chatter

 I read the local (Wiesbaden) crime blotter a fair amount.  I won't call it entertainment...it's more like a display of how things have fallen in the past forty-odd years in the region.

Just after midnight on Wednesday morning.....a doorbell rung in some apartment complex in the city (west-end).  

What the cops say is that the resident (guy, 31 years old) answers the doorbell.  A very short conversation occurs.  No one says that the resident knew the guy, or what the talk was about.  Seconds into this....the visitor at the door pulls some object (probably a knife or cutting device) and assaults the resident.  Then the visitor runs off.

It's a fairly serious wound but the resident appears to be alive at this point.  

Knowledge of the visitor?  Unknown. 

This is one of the changes to the city over the decades.  Normally, no one would have gone around after 10 PM 'visiting' houses.  On top of that, you'd normally never worry about some nutcase at the door.  

All of this being about woman-troubles?  Well...you don't know. It could even be mistaken identity of a woman-troubles guy.
