Knife attack in Altona: Two injuries, perpetrators continue to be fleeting!

in downtown Hamburg, more precisely in the Altona district, there was a tragic incident during the night, in which a 57-year-old man was seriously injured. According to Kreiszeitung , the father was attacked during a dispute with a 19-year-old suspected perpetrator with a knife. He died at the scene while his 28-year-old son survived after an emergency surgery.

The police were alerted around 8:55 p.m. after several emergency calls were received by witnesses who had pointed out the bloody argument. The 19-year-old, who had recently become known to the son, apparently stabbed both men during a dispute. As part of the investigation, the murder commission determined for attempted manslaughter and homicide.

The events and the consequences

The rescue workers could not save the 57-year-old despite intensive attempts at resuscitation. His son, on the other hand, was taken to a nearby hospital, where his condition is classified as stable but critically. The alleged perpetrator fled after the attack, but was later arrested in Hamburg-Erserbrook. An arrest warrant was issued against him, with no information before the judge.

Family members receive support from the crisis intervention team of the German Red Cross to deal with the traumatic experiences. The police intensify the investigation because the identity of the perpetrator is known, but it was still fleeting.
