Overview
- Leipzig police launched a public manhunt with photos for a 34-year-old who escaped Friday from the forensic psychiatric clinic on Gorbitzer Straße by climbing a fence during a late-morning window.
- Authorities warn the Leipzig fugitive may be dangerous and ask anyone who spots him to call 110, noting he could be in the Berlin area after earlier searches failed.
- Investigators in the Leipzig case released a detailed description and said the public appeal was approved by prosecutors following unsuccessful local search efforts.
- A TAG24 report identifies the Leipzig suspect as Toufik H. and cites investigators’ concern that he could target an ex-partner and attempt to abduct their child, a scenario presented as a fear rather than a confirmed plan.
- In Bayreuth, 32-year-old Omar Zentari fled during a supervised group day leave at the Rotmain-Center; mantrailing dogs led investigators to a trail in Kulmbach and police are reviewing CCTV and digital traces for possible southbound train travel.
