In a disturbing incident in a popular Lithuanian holiday resort, a German citizen was violently attacked by a group of masked robbers late on a Monday night. The victim was reportedly followed to his hotel, where he was confronted and stabbed by the assailants who attempted to rob him. He was discovered lying in a pool of his own blood near the hotel, having lost a significant amount of blood by the time help arrived.

Emergency responders were quickly on the scene, with a hotel employee being the first to assist the victim. The employee attempted to stop the bleeding and called for medical assistance. When medics arrived, they quickly transported the injured tourist to the hospital, where despite his severe injuries, he remained conscious and was able to provide the police with crucial information about his attackers. The victim identified the suspects as Germans who had concealed their lower faces and were armed with a small knife.

Law enforcement acted swiftly after the attack, resulting in the arrest of two suspects, aged 38 and 34, shortly after conducting several raids. This incident has raised alarms about safety in the tourist area, particularly coming on the heels of another troubling incident, hinting at a potential rise in crime targeting visitors in the region, which could have serious implications for its tourism industry and community safety.
