Aggressive attack in Bremerhaven: Police officer saves women from attackers

On Monday, July 14, 2025, an aggressor was noticed on Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse in Bremerhaven who attacked two women, challenging not only the civilian population but also the police. According to Bremerhaven Police, the operations management was alerted at 10:20 a.m. via the emergency number 110. A witness saw the 19-year-old hit the two women and reacted immediately.

A contact police officer, who was nearby on his service bike, rushed to the women's aid. But the attacker was uncooperative and refused to follow the officer's instructions. This led to a scuffle during which both the police officer and the aggressive man fell to the ground. Fortunately, the police officer managed to hold off the attacker until reinforcements arrived.

Despite the arrest, the man continued to show aggressive behavior and even kicked at the emergency services. He was eventually secured with handcuffs and ankle cuffs and taken into police custody. One of the two women he attacked sustained minor injuries in the incident. The 19-year-old is now being investigated for assault and resisting law enforcement officers.

This incident is part of a worrying trend. In Germany, statistics show that cases of dangerous and serious bodily harm have been higher since 2014 than ever before, as an analysis by the Federal Criminal Police Office reveals. The data, which extends through 2024, was released on April 2, 2025 and reveals the alarming reality of violence in cities. The numbers can be accessed on Statista.

In Bremerhaven, the police remain vigilant and raise citizens' awareness of such dangerous situations. Any indication of violence is taken seriously and it is important that the public feels safe and can act quickly if danger threatens.
