Zwickauer is injured in the mailbox: bloody episodes and search for witness

A shocking incident recently occurred in Zwickau, in which a woman was seriously injured when a letter was inserted into a mailbox from HypoVeinsbank. Katja Friedemann, 50 years old, looked for help for the incident and came across a helpful woman who was standing aside. "Blood immediately shot," she reported, describing the painful episodes that she still feels today. The bloody traces can still be seen around the branch on the Dr. Friedrichs-Ring days later, which reinforces the precarious situation in which residents and passers-by are located. Information on further accidents with mailboxes became known. During a short period of time between Monday and Tuesday, a mailbox of public transport was willfully damaged in the Langenhessen district.

A unknown person drove backwards against the mailbox and a fence and left damage of around 400 euros. The police have now started the search for witnesses that can provide information on the incident and the fleeting vehicle. A call to the Werdau police station could possibly contribute to clarification - the contact telephone number is 03761 7020. Such incidents raise questions about security and responsibility in public space.

Security in public space

A comprehensive discussion about security in public space is urgently necessary according to such incidents. In Germany, despite statistical surveys that the country are among the 20 safest in the world, many people feel insecure. In Cologne, for example, street crime, especially around Neumarkt, has increased by 30% since 2019. Residents report thefts and unpleasant begging, while the feeling of security is increasingly disappearing. The city of Cologne reacts and is planning measures such as improved lighting and the use of street workers to defuse the situation.

Probably no longer a walk, the parks and streets in many cities are a scene for drug trafficking and aggressive attacks. This problem is not just a Cologne phenomenon; Increased security measures were also carried out in Hamburg and Regensburg after citizens' initiatives had pointed out the grievances. In the Hanseatic city, for example, residents have reported rising robberies and a noticeable increase in drug crime. Jochen Kopelke from the police union was concerned about the effectiveness of the measures to combat crime.

It seems that society has to take on a certain degree of responsibility to ensure the security of public space. Shops, residents and authorities are required to find solutions together and to stand up for a harmonious and safe cooperation.
