Refugee stabbing Attack in Duisdorf refugee center
Bonn-Duisdorf · A Somalian man at a refugee center in Duisdorf stabbed another man living there, sending him to the hospital with serious injuries. Police arrested the suspect at the scene.
Seriously injured in an attack with a knife, a 29-year-old Moroccan man was taken from a refugee center in Duisdorf to the hospital. His injuries were not life threatening. Police received an emergency call at around 3:50 p.m. on Wednesday. One man was threatening another with a knife.
When police arrived at the scene, the suspect, who police say is from Somalia, was taken into police custody without offering any resistance. Apparently, three men were present at the time of the altercation. The latest information indicates that the 29-year-old Moroccan man was hanging out in the sleeping area with a 25-year-old friend when the knife-wielding man burst in. The incident is being investigated by homicide detectives, who are working with prosecutors. It is being viewed as an attempted murder.
In August of this past year, a 23-year-old refugee at the Paulusheim refugee shelter stabbed a 27-year-old there. He resisted arrest and was taken into police custody after police fired a warning shot. The man, from Guinea, was found to have psychological problems.
