Serious injuries for knife stabbing in Plauen - police are looking for witnesses!

In the night of Wednesday, there was a violent argument between two young men in Plauen on Kasernenstrasse. This developed from an initially verbal argument and escalated in a dangerous incident in which a 26-year-old man from Libya was seriously injured. The alleged perpetrator, a 25-year-old man from Morocco, initially fled from the crime scene, but could be set and arrested by the police a short time later. The injured person was taken to the hospital for inpatient treatment. The Blick reports that the criminal police have started the investigation and witness to the incident is urgently asked to report. Information can be given to the Zwickau criminal police inspection on 0375 428 4480.

What many do not know: Another serious incident in Plauen occurred in the same period of time. According to a report of the Beaker City there was a fatal argument between three asylum seekers in accommodation. A 46-year-old Pakistaner is said to have stabbed a 36-year-old compatriot with a knife on Monday. The dispute, which developed on Monday afternoon, led the police to be informed. During the crime, a 40-year-old Moroccan suffered minor injuries that were treated on an outpatient basis in the hospital. The alleged perpetrator was also temporarily arrested and has minor injuries.

Investigations and safety precautions

The investigation into the crime scene is currently in full swing. The security concept of the asylum accommodation is checked after the incident, but it was found to be sufficient by the crisis intervention team "Southwest Saxony". This professional support not only applies to the employees concerned, but also checks the need for social care for other residents. Interestingly, almost 240 people live in this accommodation on Kasernenstrasse, but only around 50 were actually present on this day - many of them hardly learn about the events.

The recent incidents in Plauen make it clear that the city has by no means alienated from the problem of destructive conflicts. Both the police and social institutions face the challenge of finding effective solutions in the face of such escalations. It remains to be hoped that such tragic incidents can be avoided through increased prevention measures and enlightenment.
