Family conflict in Bonn: son attacks 95-year-old mother

Bonn: 95-year-old injured in apartment-son arrested

In Bonn there was a serious incident in which a 57-year-old man is accused of attacking and injured his 95-year-old mother in her own apartment. The situation escalated when the elderly woman was able to choose the emergency call 110 from her bedroom after she was injured by her son on her face and attacked with a chair.

The police immediately reacted to the emergency call and sent two patrol cars to the address of the woman concerned. At the scene, the officials met both the injured 95-year-old and the suspect son, who, according to the police, behaved "uncooperatively". As a result, there was a violent collision between the man and the police officer, in which he attacked the officials with fist.

In order to control the situation, the emergency services used a taser, but were only able to overwhelm the man with difficulty. Three police officers were also injured in the dispute - they suffered bruises, abrasions and in one case even a bite.

The 95-year-old was taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment where she is medical care. Your health and the extent of the injuries are currently not fully known, but it is clear that the incident has a significant impact on the family affected.

A investigation against the son is now being initiated for dangerous bodily harm and resistance to police officers. It should also be brought before the judge. So far, little is known about the background of the incident and family conditions, which raises questions about the causes of this attack and draws attention to the need to prevent and remedy violence in families.
