Overview

  • A 39-year-old Dortmund supporter died after being pushed and hitting his head on Harald‑Stender‑Platz in Hamburg; a 22-year-old was identified, briefly detained, and released for lack of pretrial custody grounds.
  • Police say the victim appeared intoxicated and had repeatedly harassed a group shortly before the shove, and the homicide squad LKA 41 with prosecutors is leading the probe and appealing for witnesses.
  • In Völklingen, a preliminary autopsy found the 34-year-old officer was hit by six bullets and died of blood loss, and investigators are examining how the suspect obtained a police service weapon.
  • An arrest warrant accuses the 18-year-old of murder, attempted murder and particularly serious robbery; he was shot during the pursuit, is in critical condition, and toxicology and psychiatric reviews are underway.
  • Separately, the DFB imposed a one-match suspension on Borussia Dortmund defender Filippo Mane, ruling him out against Union Berlin with a possible return after the international break.
