Robbery attack in the supermarket: man with a knife witnesses!

On Friday, March 7, 2025, a predatory theft occurred in a supermarket on Stresemannstrasse. A 47-year-old man from Solingen was approached by a couple at the cash register who asked him to put more goods out of his backpack on the till. Suddenly the man fled, followed by the couple who held him behind the cash register area. In the following discussion, the suspect pulled a knife and made stab movements towards the two, but did not injure anyone and could initially escape.

The police immediately initiated a search and met the suspect a short time later in the Fuchsweg, where alleged thieves were secured. The man was temporarily arrested. The investigators ask the two witnesses attacked by the man to report on 0202/284-0.
