Angeblich habe ein Geflüchteter in einer Filiale der Supermarktkette Netto in der sächsischen Kleinstadt Reichenbach in der Oberlausitz einer Kassiererin mit einer Schere in den Hals gestochen.

Publisher’s rating: Die sächsische Polizei bezeichnete schon 2018 den Fall als erfundene Geschichte. Es gab damals lediglich den Diebstahl einer Schere, allerdings in Reichenbach im sächsischen Vogtland. Die Polizeidirektion Görlitz führte nach eigenen Angaben in den vergangenen Tagen keinen derartigen Einsatz durch.
