Bloody argument in Handorf: 41-year-old injured life-threatening!

In the night from Friday to Saturday there was a brutal incident in Handorf, in the district of Lüneburg, which shocked. A 27-year-old man is said to have hit his 41-year-old acquaintance massively with a stab in the neck area. The incident occurred shortly after midnight in the victim's apartment, where there were other people. They were able to barricade themselves together with the injured in a room and alert the police. Fortunately, the police were able to arrest the fleeting suspect in the area at night.

The 41-year-old was immediately taken to a hospital where an emergency operation saved him. According to current information, however, he no longer floated in acute danger to life on Sunday, which can be seen as a happy turn in this dark story. The 27-year-old was shown to a judge at the Soltau district court who issued an arrest warrant for attempted murder.

In the discussion about violent crimes in Germany, the question arises as to how such incidents influence our security perception. While violent crimes are less than 4% of the overall crimes recorded, they strongly shape the feeling of security of people. In 2024, around 217,000 violent crimes were registered, with a significant increase since the pandemic-related low in 2021. This phenomenon indicates an alarming turnaround, with causes being seen in economic uncertainties and social stress. In addition, the proportion of young violent perpetrators has increased, as [https://de.statista.com/themen/11062/kriminalitaet-in-deutschland-chwaltkriminalitaet/).

The population pursues such incidents with concern. A survey from May 2024 showed that 94% of German violence against people who work in politics, police and rescue services perceive as a major problem. Such opinions show that the feeling of security in society is still under pressure and that people long for more stability and less violence in their everyday life.
