Following is a summary of this Express UK article:
An asylum seeker is under arrest in Germany after biting off the lips, ears and eyelids of another migrant before stabbing him in the throat and both eyes. The attack happened on the evening of October 7 in the town of Schlüchtern, which is close to Frankfurt. The attacker is being held on assault and attempted murder charges, which prosecutors may upgrade to attempted murder.
Police were called when a resident in refugee accommodation heard loud screams. The police broke down a door to find the 19 year old attacker sitting on top of his 18 year old victim.
The cause of the dispute is unclear, but the prosecutor said “ritualistic” elements to the assault could not be ruled out. The victim was taken to a specialist clinic, where he is alive but in deep shock and he is unaware of his environment.
“The investigating authorities have never experienced such a form of violence here before. The victim was cruelly mutilated and he must reckon with the permanent damage. It is unclear whether he will be permanently blinded,” said a police spokesman
