Man attacked while attempting to retrieve his stolen motorbike

Gang descends on biker and his friend for taking back his property

Two men were attacked in the Copenhagen suburb of Brønshøj overnight while attempting to retrieve a stolen motorbike.

“A man who had his motorbike stolen spotted it in Brønshøj,” Youssef Lharraki from the Copenhagen Police told TV2.

“He and his friend were pushing it when a group of men turned up and began to attack them.”

Knives and hammers
Lharraki said that one man was stabbed several times and the other was struck on the head with a hammer.

None of the injuries are life-threatening, and police have interviewed at least one of the victims.

Police do not have any suspects as of yet and are asking for witnesses who may have seen anything suspicious near Frederikssundsvej at around 1 am to get in touch.
