Police in northern Greece have arrested a man following a bloody family dispute in Halkidiki that involved an ax and a knife, leaving two people injured.
The violence erupted when the suspect allegedly attacked his in-law with both weapons. Despite sustaining wounds, the victim managed to defend himself, stabbing the assailant twice in the chest during the struggle.
Police arrived to find a chaotic scene.
The suspected attacker also suffered a hand injury during the altercation. Both men were transported to a local hospital for treatment; authorities confirmed their wounds were superficial and not life-threatening.
Local media identified both individuals as Albanian nationals, though their names were not immediately released.
Officers took the initial attacker into custody upon his discharge from medical care. Police stated the incident appears to be an isolated domestic case stemming from personal differences and poses no broader threat to the public.
An investigation is underway to determine the specific motive behind the assault.
