Thessaloniki dawned with tragic news on Thursday as a 32-year-old police officer died after being attacked with a knife in a bar in the city.
According to the first information, the murder took place shortly after 4:30 in a bar on Katsimidis Street where the police officer was with his best man.
It all allegedly happened when the Norwegian got into an argument with the policeman's best man who he stabbed in the leg.
That's when the 32-year-old police officer stepped in to protect his best man, as a result of which he was stabbed twice by the Norwegian, in the back and abdomen, and died on the spot.
The bar where the murder happened is located next to the MAT facilities, on Katsimidis Street. So when the best man of the policeman went out into the street shouting for help, the policemen of a platoon that was at the headquarters of their service ran to the bar and arrested the perpetrator.
The injured best man of the unfortunate police officer was taken to the "Ippokrateio" General Hospital for first aid.
A preliminary investigation into the case is being conducted by the Crimes Against Life Department of Thessaloniki.
