Passau, Germany - A German police chief wounded in a knife attack by a suspected neo-Nazi was released from hospital on Friday as a search for the assailant continued.
Alois Mannichl, 52, chief of police in the southern city of Passau, was stabbed in the stomach outside his home by a skinhead who yelled neo-Nazi abuse at him, then left with a getaway driver.
A 33-year-old man and his wife, aged 22, were arrested three days after the December 13 attack on charges of complicity in attempted murder after police traced the getaway car to them.
Both suspects were known to police for connections to Germany's right-wing scene.
