Neighboring in Dortmund escalated: knife attack on Christmas Eve!

In Dortmund, two terrible incidents occurred among neighbors, which ended in bloody arguments. On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, there was a disturbing escalation in a residential building in Dortmund-Scharnhorst. A 53-year-old man stabbed his 54-year-old neighbor after a dispute that apparently began during a joint celebration, including alcohol consumption. The dispute caused the attacker first choking his neighbor and then stabbing with a knife. The crime occurred around 11:55 p.m. when concerned witnesses chose the emergency call. The massively injured man, hit in the stomach and thigh, was treated quickly by an emergency doctor, which probably saved his life. The police set up a murder commission and immediately arrested the suspect, while the investigators clarify the exact circumstances.

another bloody neighborhood dispute

Another incident occurred in the Nordstadt Dortmund, where on Saturday evening, April 29, a dispute between two neighbors resulted in a violent situation. At 9:55 p.m., the police received an emergency call that pointed out a possible killing. The officials and several emergency vehicles hurried to Schillerstrasse, where a 56-year-old was injured by his 52-year-old neighbor with a knife. The injured person was then taken to the hospital, but was released that night. According to the public prosecutor, there was no longer any danger to life, but it was a potentially life -threatening stitch. The 52-year-old volunteered the officials and was arrested. The prosecutor, Henner Kruse, indicated that the accusation of attempted killing may have been dropped because it could have been self -defense after the attacker had previously been attacked. A witness also reported threats that were expressed during the dispute.

These two incidents represent an alarming series of violence among neighbors, which are important not only for those involved, but also for the community, such as Bild.de and Derwesten.de reported.
