Another Knife Attack at Blechen-Carré in Cottbus

As police announced tonight, the incident took place just after 3pm. The officers were alerted to a grievous battery at the street tram station Stadtpromenade. “According to initial investigations, a brawl ensued after a verbal confrontation and an insult. From a group of Syrian and German youths between 16 and 18 years old, who superficially knew each other from school and leisure time, a 16-year-old boy from Cottbus was pressed against a standing tram by a Syrian youth,” says the police spokesman Torsten Wendt. In doing so, a knife slash was inflicted upon the left side of the youth’s face. After the incident, the 16-year-old ran into Blechen-Carré, looking for help. “The victim was tended to by paramedics there, and then taken to CTK hospital for further treatment,” says Wendt.

Police did not announce further details. Criminal Police took over investigations. A police search for the suspect, who is still on the loose, and his accomplices, is still ongoing. Several witnesses of the incident were already interviewed in the early evening hours.

Translator’s note:

In response to Friday’s knife attack on the married German couple, one of the Syrian attackers, a 15-year-old, was expelled from the city of Cottbus and the entire parish, along with his father. The head of the municipal public order office stated that this was the first time the city has ever resorted to this harsh measure, as the youth was already prior known for violent offenses: “We declare the integration of the youth a failure.”

Also, an attack by unknown perpetrators on a refugee accommodation was reported.

As a response to Friday’s stabbing, even before this new stabbing, police have already announced they will increase their presence.
