Messer attack in Bremen: Police overwhelm psychologically striking attackers

Messer attack in Bremen: Police overwhelm psychologically striking attackers

Two people armed with a knife caused excitement in Bremen-Huchting and Woltmershausen on Wednesday evening. An alarmed police operation was required at 6 p.m. on Sodenmattstrasse when a violently penetrating ex-partner appeared in an apartment and threatened a long kitchen knife in his hand. The caller, accompanied by her children, had locked herself in an adjoining room.

The police reacted quickly and threatened the 30-year-old man with the use of the service weapon. Under the pressure of the situation, the intruder finally dropped the knife. He was overwhelmed, tied up and brought to the mental assessment of the social psychiatric service. The investigation into this incident continues.
