Knife attack in Spandau: 13-year-old arrested after a bloody dispute!

In a worrying incident at a primary school in Berlin-Spandau, a 12-year-old student was seriously injured by a 13-year-old classmate with a kitchen knife on Thursday morning. The incident occurred in the school's sports dressing, where there was initially a dispute between the two boys. After the attack, the perpetrator, Alan-Said Ibrahim, fled from the crime scene, which resulted in a large-scale search for the police, in which a police helicopter and search dogs were used. According to [Exxpress.at] (https://exxpress.at/news/nach-als-24-stunden-fahnpolizei-Fastmi- fitt-knife-knife-Alan-SaID-13/), a 12-year-old 12-year-old has been operated on the neck and his condition is now stable.

The search for Ibrahim, which has both the German and the US citizenship and is known to the police, was extended to Lower Saxony because his family has known there. On Friday afternoon, the police released photos of the search, which finally led to the arrest. Civil investigators found him on a staircase of the town hall of Spandau. When he was arrested, Ibrahim seemed intact, but tired and relieved and was then brought to an establishment of child and adolescent psychiatry, like that Tagesspiegel reported.

background and reactions

Before the attack, Ibrahim, as classmates reported, indicated in his football club that he was ready for violence and wanted to "deny someone". However, the exact motifs behind the attack are unclear; A xenophobic or religious motive was excluded. Since Ibrahim is dismissal, no criminal investigations against him are initiated. A murder commission nevertheless assumed the responsibility for the further examinations, since there are indications of an attempted homicide, explained Exxpress.at.

The school management and the educational management have activated a team of crisis to cope with the incident. This is done in a school with more than 400 students, which is located in a quiet residential area. The police union continued to express concern about the increasing violence in schools and the influence of social media on the behavior of young people, as in the Tagesspiegel mentioned.

The use of specialist knowledge and resources for violence prevention could be crucial to prevent further incidents of this kind. For example, in specialist articles such as that of Schubarth (2000) about "violence prevention in school and youth welfare" is discussed how important it is to prevent violent tendencies among young people in order to ensure the security of all students, which on the platform specialist portal Pedagogy can be found.
