Overview

  • A 25-year-old homeless man was found bleeding on the Karl-Liebknecht-Brücke around 21:30 Friday after a witness called police, and officers provided first aid.
  • Police say a dispute over a bicycle escalated into an attempted robbery and stabbing, and the suspect fled without taking anything.
  • The victim underwent emergency surgery and is in stable, non-life-threatening condition, according to police.
  • A robbery unit from Directorate 5 has taken over the case following repeated police deployments around the Humboldt Forum in recent weeks, including a fatal stabbing last week.
  • In a separate incident Thursday, a 40-year-old homeless man allegedly threw a traffic sign at a 7-year-old boy who was not injured, and the suspect was arrested, briefly treated, and had a prosecutor-ordered blood sample taken ahead of a judge’s review.
