Shots at e-scooter drivers: Police are looking for witnesses in Delmenhorst!

On the night of Friday, September 15, 2025, a 48-year-old e-scooter driver in Delmenhorst was seriously injured when unknown perpetrators shot at him. As ndr.de reports, the incident occurred around 1:15 a.m. on the sidewalk and cycle path on Mühlenstrasse, near a post office. Despite the serious injuries, the man managed to drag himself to a nearby restaurant to seek help.

Guests in the restaurant reacted quickly and alerted the police and rescue workers. The seriously injured man was then taken to hospital and had to undergo emergency surgery. His condition is now stable and he could be interviewed, but no details about his statements have been released. A homicide commission was set up to clarify the background to the attempted killing, as it is unclear what relationship there is between the perpetrator and the victim and how many shots were actually fired.
