Alcohol intoxication on the S-Bahn: Lower Saxony couple brutally attacked!
A frightening incident caused a stir on a Hamburg S-Bahn on Saturday evening: a couple from Lower Saxony, 42 and 41 years old, were attacked by two men. This reports rnd.de. The attack happened on the route between the Diebsteich and Altona stations. Witnesses report that the 42-year-old argued loudly with the two perpetrators, a 30-year-old and a 31-year-old. Suddenly she was hit in the face by one of the men. Her husband, who wanted to help his wife, was also attacked and knocked to the ground.
When the S-Bahn arrived at Altona station, the perpetrators fled, but were quickly caught by the federal police. The drunken men had breath alcohol levels of 1.57 and 1.34 per mille. They were banned from staying in Altona and St. Pauli until the following day. Investigations into dangerous bodily harm are ongoing and surveillance camera recordings are to be evaluated. The injured party suffered significant bruises and a bleeding tear on her face; she was taken to the hospital while the husband refused medical attention on site.
Alcohol and aggression
It is well known that alcohol plays a crucial role in the development of violence. Loud aerzteblatt.de In Germany, every third violent crime was committed under the influence of alcohol. Men in particular often show aggressive behavior, which was also the case here. The relationship between alcohol and aggression is complex and is influenced by various factors, including neurobiological influences and individual experiences. It is important to note that not everyone reacts aggressively under the influence of alcohol, which may be due to different personal circumstances.
The effect of alcohol on behavior also has biological causes. Current studies show that even small amounts, from around 0.5 per mille, severely impair impulse control. In the dorsomedial region of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for processing aggressive signals, brain activity changes significantly when alcohol is consumed, which can lead to a lowering of inhibition thresholds and thus to aggressiveness. This is done by mywaybettyford.de which explains that emotional instability and stress are also risk factors for violent reactions.
The Hamburg S-Bahn incident is another alarming example of how alcohol can lead to a dangerous cocktail of aggression and violence. It remains to be hoped that those affected will soon be able to return to normal everyday life and that awareness of the dangers of alcohol-related aggression will be raised in society.
