German police have arrested a 44-year-old Egyptian man suspected of trying to kill his 14-year-old daughter in Hamburg.
The police explained that the father is currently in pre-trial detention after being charged of murder attempt, the German news agency said.
According to the primary investigations, the father learned that his daughter had a friend who invited her on the same evening to talk in his apartment, so a fight broke out between them.
