46-year-old almost rams police officer: investigation into attempted murder!

A dramatic incident occurred in Ravensburg on Sunday evening that shocked the local police and the population alike. A 46-year-old, who is already known to the police, is suspected of having committed attempted murder. Several emergency services are now trying to shed light on the matter. [Schwäbische reports].

The suspect had previously stolen a car from his former employer. When he tried to control him, the man refused to leave the vehicle. Instead, he backed up, hitting both a railing and a lamppost and repeatedly revving the engine. In an attempt to stop him, the police used pepper spray. At a critical moment, the suspect accelerated sharply and almost ran over an officer, who was only able to escape by jumping to the side.

A dangerous maneuver

The police had to act quickly when the man rammed a patrol car and a parked car. Together, the emergency services finally managed to temporarily arrest him. However, he shows no signs of drug or alcohol use. The Ravensburg public prosecutor's office is intensively investigating the suspicion of attempted murder, and the man is expected to be brought before the judge on Monday. It is expected that he will be taken into custody.

The current situation casts a shadow on the development of crime in Germany. The Statista shows that despite a decrease in reported crimes of 1.7% to around 5.84 million in 2024, the perceived security of the population is severely impaired by some crimes. In particular, crimes against life only account for 0.1% of cases, but they still cause great fear among citizens.

With the latest developments in Ravensburg it is clear that the police's work is far from over. It remains to be seen what the legal consequences will be for the 46-year-old and what further information will come to light. Viewers can stay tuned as the investigation continues.
