Saarbrücken – This Friday evening, December 20, 2024, at around 6:30 p.m. there was an argument between several people in the area of the Berlin Promenade and Rabbiner-Rülf-Platz in Saarbrücken. According to police, a knife was used. The suspect is said to have shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the crime. Despite an intensive search, the suspected perpetrator has not yet been identified.
Initial investigations then began with an argument between the man who was later injured and the still unknown perpetrator. The victim threatened his counterpart with a chair, whereupon he pulled out a knife and stabbed the man. The injured party suffered a superficial cut injury to his hand. The perpetrator then fled towards the lower Berlin promenade with his knife raised.
The police immediately launched a large-scale search and deployed additional forces in the city center area, including at the Christmas market, the Europagalerie and in the area around the main train station. Despite known sight reports of a person who matched the description, the suspect could not be caught.
The alleged perpetrator is described as follows: male, 160 to 170 cm tall, slim build, possibly of Arab origin, wearing a dark green parka jacket and a scarf over his face. It is currently unclear whether other people are involved in the incident.
The police ask witnesses who can provide information about the crime or the perpetrator to call 0681/962-2133 or any other police station. The investigation is ongoing. Subscribe to the Blue Light Report Saarland WhatsApp channel NOW and ALWAYS stay up to date directly (click here)
