Knife attack on the bus: wheelchair user and passenger seriously injured!

Hamburg-Billstedt, Deutschland - in Hamburg-Billstedt there was a terrifying knife attack in a regular bus on Saturday evening. An unknown man seriously injured a 30-year-old woman in a wheelchair and a 60-year passenger. The two victims had to be taken to a hospital immediately while the perpetrator fled after the crime. The police have accepted the search for the attacker, but so far there is no information about his identity or whereabouts. This reports KN-Online .

The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on line 23 when the man repeatedly bothered other passengers. Passengers complained to the bus driver, who ultimately asked the interferer to leave the bus at the Schiffbeker Höhe stop. In this confrontation there was a wrangling between the attacker and several passengers. After leaving the bus, the man directed his aggression against the wheelchair user and the 60-year-old man by stinging into her with a knife. Both were seriously injured, but not life-threatening, such as ndr.de reported.

search measures and determination

The police have already taken measures to find the perpetrator. This includes the evaluation of surveillance camera images that are available in the vicinity of the incident. Despite the intensive search, the knife has so far remained unknown. Politically, the topic of knife attacks in Germany is often discussed, especially in connection with migration and crime. This illustrates various statistics and studies that indicate that knife attacks are often distorted in public perception. As the page Br.de , the proportion of knife attacks is less than five percent of all cases.

Reporting on knife attacks is often accompanied by referring to reality. A study by the criminological central office shows that there is no significant connection between knife crime and the nationality of the perpetrators. Many perpetrators are often not convicted, and official statistics do not record convicted perpetrators, which also influences the perception. As a result, the discussion about the perpetrator and their backgrounds is often emotionally invited and not well -founded.

The events in Hamburg are now the focus of the investigation and public debate on security and crime in public space. It remains to be seen whether and how this incident will influence the discussions about knife crime and migration.
