Hamburg: Afghan refugee stabs a 19-year old girl


Hamburg - In the early morning of Thursday and in front of several witnesses, a man attacked a 19-year-old girl at a bus stop in Billstedt and critically injured her with a knife.

The murder commission is still investigating the motive for the bloody crime, as a police spokeswoman said on Thursday in Hamburg.

The perpetrator fled immediately after the attack. The police had searched for the man in the black hoodie with a large contingent and by helicopter - initially without success. But a few hours later, a suspect was provisionally arrested in the Ottensen district.

The 29-year-old Afghan was caught by target investigators near a vocational school. Investigations by the specialists of the homicide squad had led to his trail.

A magistrate is due to decide on Friday whether the man will remain in custody on suspicion of attempted homicide.

The 19-year-old woman was still in mortal danger in the early afternoon, it said. After the attack, an ambulance took her to the hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery. The relationship between the two was initially unclear. However, the police assume that both already knew each other.

The police said evidence was secured during the search of the suspect and his apartment in the Tonndorf district. In addition, the homicide commission is hoping for more witnesses, as several people were nearby during the attack but had not initially contacted the police.
