In a worrying incident that occurred on Whit Monday, June 9, in Siedenbrünzow in the Mecklenburg Lake District district, a 20-year-old became a danger to himself and others. According to n-tv.de, the police were alerted after a man felt threatened by the woman. When she arrived, there was a dramatic incident: the young woman attacked both an emergency doctor and the police officers with a knife.

The reports show that the police acted in an emergency and subsequently shot twice on the aggressive 20-year-olds. She was then injured and taken to the hospital. The Neubrandenburg public prosecutor is now investigating them for assault on enforcement officers in the particularly difficult case and due to attempted dangerous bodily harm. Fortunately, however, there is no investigation against the civil servants, since there are no indications of criminal behavior, as n-tv.de reports.

Another tragic incident came to light in Schwerin: In the city there, a 17-year-old youthful refugee from Afghanistan was fatally injured with a knife when trying to settle in an argument. According to the information from NDR.de, the crime occurred on Tuesday evening in the castle park center when a 25-year-old Afghan suspect in the dispute stood up on the victim and then fled the shopping center.

The police took immediate measures, cordoned off parts of the area and started looking for the perpetrator.

crime statistics and social effects

According to the police crime statistics 2024, which was published by the BKA, violent crime remains a critical topic in Germany. After the decline in total crime by 1.7 % in 2024, violent crime has increased to the highest level since 2007 and is now 217,277 cases. The increase in knife attacks, which was first recorded in this statistics, is particularly frightening. With 29,014 registered knife attacks, these make up a significant part of violent crime - 54.3 % of which were violent attacks.

These statistics throw a light on a worrying development in society, in which non -German suspects in particular play a role. The proportion of suspected non -German persons rose by 7.5 % and now accounts for 41.8 % of all suspects. The challenges that arise from this should not be underestimated and require urgent police and society to effectively combat violence and crimes.

The incidents in Siedenbrünzow and Schwerin are worrying examples of the dynamics of violence that is present in today's society and affects all of us. The police will continue to work on the clarification of these incidents, while society is required to find solutions to prevent such tragedies in the future
