Violent argument in Paderborn: ex-partner stands on woman

On Wednesday morning, January 29, 2025, a shocking incident occurred in Paderborn Senelager, in which a 25-year-old Syrian woman was seriously injured by her 24-year-old Tunisian ex-partner with a knife. The attack took place during a dispute on the street on Heilandsfrieden. The perpetrator added a deep cut in the right field of vision to the woman, which ran from the forehead to the chin. After the violent crime, the man fled, but a short time later was arrested in an urban accommodation in Paderborn, such as lwz24.de informed.

The seriously injured woman was taken to a hospital in Bielefeld by an ambulance. Their eyes remained intact, but it will be permanently distorted on the face. With an emergency call, she informed the police at 8:50 a.m. about the incident, which led to an immediate reaction from the investigators. According to the police, there were already verbal threats on the part of the perpetrator before this incident, which increased the suspicion of a planned act. On Thursday, January 30th, the judge of the Paderborn district court issued custody against the perpetrator at the request of the public prosecutor's office, who has to expect a prison sentence of at least three years because he is charged with serious bodily harm, such as Bild.de reported.

effects on the family

The effects of the incident are devastating for the woman's family. She has a four -month -old baby together and two other children aged 6 and 10. These children were handed over to the youth welfare office to ensure their security.

While the investigations by the Paderborn criminal police and the interrogations of witnesses continue to continue, according to the medical assessment, the seriously injured woman has no danger to life. The incident once again casts a highlight of the problem of violence against women in Germany.
