Bloody dispute in Tantow: shots, wooden sticks and auto vandalism!

In the evening in Bahnhofsstraße in Tantow: A sociable round in a drink dissolved into violence. On June 26th there was a striking incident in the late evening when a 40-year-old man presumably fired a 52-year-old with an air rifle. Fortunately, the victim was not injured. But what followed, escalated quickly.

The argument apparently broke out after a dispute among those present. A 58-year-old man who hurried to the 52-year-old suffered a bleeding head injury in an attack with a wooden stick, which required hospital treatment. The 40-year-old, who was involved in another incident, faced his 41-year-old friend's anger, who damaged the 52-year-old's car with foot kicks. The damage amounts to around 3,000 euros. This friend also received blows in the face and contracted a bleeding injury.

unexplained dispute

The background of the dispute is so far unclear. The police were alerted and ended the argument. The 40-year-old shooter came in police custody and continued his threats to the other participants. Both ensured objects - the air pressure rifle and the wooden stick, which could be identified as a cricket slower - were ensured. The investigating criminal police have the task of clarifying the exact trigger of the conflict. Everyone involved comes from Poland, which could also make the whole thing complicated.

Incidents like this throw a light on the current situation of violent crime in Germany. According to Statista, around 217,000 violent crimes were registered in 2024, the highest number since 2007. These deeds, which make up less than 4% of all crimes, have a strong influence on people's feeling of security, often much more than simple thefts or frauds. In addition, the number of acts of violence has increased significantly since 2021, which many associated with economic uncertainty and social stress.

A trend with worrying numbers

In 2023, 2,740 acts of violence against emergency services were also recorded, a maximum. These incidents are often related to extreme situations, alcohol and drug abuse and psychological problems. A survey from May 2024 showed that almost 94% of German violence against people from politics, police and emergency services regard as a major problem. The society seems to face challenges that are increasingly putting the limits of understanding with regard to human aggression and its causes.

While the investigation is still running and the circumstances of the dispute in Tantow are to be clarified, it can be hoped that such incidents will become less common in the future. It is due to society how it deals with such violent scenarios and is preventive. Stay informed and pay attention to your surroundings.
