Two people were apparently fatally injured in a knife attack on the street in the Billstedt district on Friday. The Hamburg police are on a large scale and are looking for the perpetrator.
The police informed the short message service X, formerly Twitter, on Friday afternoon that two fatally injured people were found in Billstedt. One was next to a parked car, the second was in the middle of the street. The rescue workers who were called in could no longer do anything for the two men.
Police search is underway – special forces in action
The perpetrator managed to escape – the police are now looking for him. Heavily armed special forces are also deployed and the “Libelle” police helicopter is in the air.
Police assume it was a relationship act
Another operation is currently underway in Neuengamme, which, according to the police, is related to the crime in Billstedt. The exact background to this is still unclear. According to police, the knife attack was a relationship act. According to NDR information, an escalated family dispute is said to be the background.
