Leipzig: 22-year-old injured in the event of a robbery in Volkmarsdorf-witnesses wanted

in Leipzig, a terrifying incident occurred late Sunday evening. A 22-year-old in the Volkmarsdorf district was the victim of an attack by a group of unknown people. The incident took place at 11:15 p.m. in Idastraße on the corner to Konradstrasse when the young man opened the door to an apartment building.

Suddenly he was attacked from behind and fell on the floor in the hallway. Immediately afterwards, the group, consisting of several perpetrators, continued their attack by entering the young man lying on the ground. In this threatening Situation, they asked him to empty his pockets and use a pointed object to underline their demands.

The noise of the attack aroused the neighbors' attention, which came out to see what happened. This resulted in the perpetrators panicking towards a nearby supermarket in Dornbergstrasse. Despite the brutal attack and the threat, the victim remained largely intact, but had to be treated on an outpatient basis in the hospital, since he was injured.

Fortunately, nothing was stolen from his pocket. This gives rise to speculation as to whether the perpetrators carried out their attack from another motif. The only thing that is certain is that the police are now investigating and classifying the incident as a predatory offense. Witnesses are urgently sought because any information could help to clarify the case.

The police published descriptions of two of the suspects to raise awareness of the public and possibly help to identify the attackers:

  • person 1: relatively young, very slim stature, wore a white baseball cap, gray jogging pants and white sneakers.
  • person 2: between 16 and 28 years old, about 1.80 to 1.90 meters tall, slim stature, dark curly hair, dark dressed, with black hoodie.

The criminal police asks for help and has set up a hotline under which witnesses can provide information. The investigators can be reached on the telephone number 03419664666 and hope for information that could lead to finding the perpetrators.

Such incidents are alarming and raise questions about security in urban areas. The local community is called up to be vigilant and to act quickly even in the smallest abnormalities to ensure the security of everyone.
