Hammer attack in the ICE: Four injured in the event of gruesome incident in Bavaria!

A violent incident in ICE 91 On Thursday afternoon, the region around Straßkirchen in the Straubing-Bogen district started. Shortly before 2 p.m., a 20-year-old Syrian man, presumably Mohammed A., attacked passengers with a hammer. Four passengers were injured here, with the severity of the injuries varied between light and moderate. The victims include three other Syrians aged 15, 24 and 51, as well as a 38-year-old man whose nationality is not yet known. Despite the dramatic circumstances, nobody is in mortal danger, such as picture reports.

The train that was on the way from Hamburg to Vienna and promoted around 500 passengers at that time had to stop on the freely route due to the incident after some travelers pressed the emergency brake. Over 150 emergency services from emergency services and fire departments hurried to both supply the injured and to secure the crime scene. Deutsche Bahn expressed its sympathy for those affected and praised the quick reaction of the emergency services.

Psychosocial support in crisis situations

In such turbulent times, the right support for those affected is crucial. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has set itself the goal of anchoring psychosocial support (MHPSS) in development cooperation. It is important that such programs also apply in crises or escape situations, such as BMZ. Organizations such as UNICEF and UNHCR are used to evaluate and further develop the effectiveness of such measures.

The scope of the incident in ICE 91 once again shows the need to establish suitable systems for coping with crisis and emotional support. The shock waves that triggers such an attack can have far -reaching consequences, both for the victims and for the communities from which they come.
