Serious injuries on Ovelgönner horse market: Witnesses urgently wanted!

On the evening of September 1, 2024, there was a terrifying incident on the Ovelgönner horse market that seriously injured a man. At around 9:30 p.m., during an event in the marquee, a 30-year-old man from the Ammerland became the victim of a brutal attack.

The situation escalated when an unknown man repeatedly harassed a young woman, which was initially addressed by several bystanders. Despite the encouraging calls to the women, the harassment showed no insight and continued to behave disrespectfully. Finally, the 30-year-old intervened to help the harassed girl, but the attacker suddenly hit him in the face and threw him to the ground. In the further course, the attacker kicked the head on the ground, which led to serious injuries.

Details on the incident and the escape of the perpetrator

The attacker, whose identity is still unknown, was dressed in a gray hoodie and light trousers at the time of the crime. He also noticed through striking "ravillacles", which particularly characterized his appearance. According to eyewitness reports, the man is about 30 years old and about 185 cm tall. After the crime, he fled from the tent together with a companion, which makes the circumstances of the incident even more mysterious, since there is no information about the escape route.

The 30-year-old was taken to the hospital immediately after the incident, where he had to be treated. The severity of his injuries indicates that it is a dangerous bodily harm that the police are now seriously investigating.

The investigation has been initiated and the police have sent an urgent request to the public: Anyone who can provide information about the unknown attacker or the events on the Ovelgönner horse market should contact the police in Brake on 04401/935-0.

Incidents like this throw a disturbing light on security at public events. While festivities and markets are usually places of enjoyment and conviviality, such violent attacks show a worrying reality with which both the organizer and the police have to deal.

The area of security measures becomes all the more important in this context, since it is crucial to ensure the protection of visitors and ensure that nobody is suspended. The investigation will show how those responsible will deal with this incident and what measures are taken to prevent future incidents of this kind.
