Delmenhorst: Mann from bike - police are looking for important witnesses!

Delmenhorst, Deutschland - A shocking incident occurred on July 5, 2025 in Delmenhorst when a 59-year-old man was bought by bicycle by three unknown people on the bike path of Stedinger Straße in the direction of Hasbergen. The incident happened around 1:15 p.m., and the person concerned suffered several cuts and bruises. He fell into a bush after the thrust. This frightening act was only reported to the police on July 9, who is now looking for witnesses who could have information in connection with this incident in order to track down the perpetrators. The police ask that people who were near the bus stop "Wilhelm-Tell-Weg" report. Information can be given on the phone number 04221/1559-0, such as the reported.
