Yvonne Kussmann reported that a 21-year-old Afghan man had created a disturbance in his apartment in Hamburg-Harburg last night. The police observed noticeable behavior there but did not see any danger to himself or others and left again. Around 4:50 a.m., the man followed a 58-year-old resident of the same building as she was leaving for work. He struck, kicked, and strangled her until she lost consciousness. After he fled, the woman regained consciousness. Bystanders called the police because they had seen the man, who, according to Kussmann, was allegedly in a state of psychological emergency. The police took the 21-year-old into custody and brought him to a psychiatric clinic. The woman was taken to the hospital. According to Kussmann, the public prosecutor's office was investigating for attempted homicide and had applied for a commitment order. They apparently assume that the man intended to kill the woman while in a state of insanity or diminished capacity. A detention judge was expected to decide on the application the same day. #Hamburg #Gewalt #PsychischeGesundheit (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that a Swedish police officer had been privately in Copenhagen and tried to settle a dispute. During this, a man hit him on the head or neck. An artery was torn; the officer died despite an emergency operation. The Copenhagen City Court convicted the man, according to LilitThyra, of simple assault, not of dangerous bodily harm or homicide. It imposed a one-year prison sentence as well as a one-year ban on entering bars, clubs, and similar establishments after midnight. The perpetrator had come to Denmark as a toddler from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is now a Danish citizen. Furthermore, he had multiple prior convictions for rape, bodily injury, and attempted murder. #Dänemark #Justiz #Kriminalität (translated)
