Brawl at the kebab stand: police urgently need witnesses!
Late in the evening of October 31st, a violent confrontation occurred in Greifswald in which three young people were slightly injured. The incident took place around 11 p.m. at the intersection of Schuhhagen and Schützenstrasse, near a popular kebab bistro. A 17-year-old was attacked when he tried to be helped by two other young people who were also involved in the fight. The attackers were able to escape undetected and the police have already started an investigation into suspected grievous bodily harm. They are urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators and ask you to contact them on 03834/5400 or via the police online watchdog, as the Ostsee Zeitung reports.
The current events in Greifswald fall into a worrying context that the police crime statistics (PKS) have shown for 2024. The number of violent crimes in Germany rose by 1.5% to a total of 217,277 cases, which is the highest level since 2007. What is particularly striking is the 2.4% increase in dangerous and serious bodily harm, which highlights the need for prevention and increased safety measures. The number of minors involved in such acts has also increased, showing that there is a growing problem, which may be exacerbated by increasing psychological stress.
Call for help
In connection with the brawl, the police are deliberately calling for information about the perpetrators to be shared. They are working to determine the background to this incident and to clarify what circumstances led to this escalation. Every tip is important, especially at a time when the willingness to use violence among young people is increasing. The police are hoping that residents or passers-by who were in the area at the time of the crime will provide valuable information.
The situation in Greifswald also raises questions about safety in nightlife, especially at popular meeting places such as snack bars and bars. It is not just an isolated incident, but part of a larger trend that the PKS has clearly demonstrated. The feeling of insecurity could affect social activities and social life.
Discussions about security policy and prevention measures are becoming increasingly important not only in view of recent crimes, but also in view of the increasing numbers of violent crimes and juvenile crime. It is advisable that both authorities and the community work together to ensure a safe environment.
