additional investigations

in parallel to this incident, the Cologne police are looking for a suspected young person who was involved in a knife attack. These incidents are part of a worrying trend of increasing acts of violence in the region. The adolescent is suspected of having stung a 49-year-old in the local alcoholic scene with a knife into his upper body. This happened the night before the attack in Cologne-Mülheim and is the reason for a public search, which was obtained by a judicial decision, such as FOCUS reported.

After a verbal dispute between the 49-year-old and the alleged perpetrator, they fled across Vienna. The 49-year-old had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery, while the police were able to arrest the supposed companion of the attacker. The investigation into this case is still in progress. Information can also be given to the Cologne police on 0221-229-0.

These incidents reflect the challenges that the security authorities in Cologne have in dealing with an increasing number of violent offenses. In the current crime statistics , the ministry of the Interior NRW indicates the need to increasingly initiate measures to fight crime, especially in risk areas.
