On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, several violent attacks were committed in Husum by a 29-year-old Algerian man living in Husum. He has since been arrested and taken into custody.
According to current findings, the suspect first encountered his 48-year-old victim at around 2 p.m. at the junction of Asmussenstraße and Schulstraße. After an argument, the 29-year-old threatened to kill the victim and stabbed him in the upper body with a knife. Despite the depth of the stab wound, no vital organs were hit, so the victim was able to be discharged from hospital after receiving outpatient treatment.
At around 4:50 p.m., the victim encountered the suspect again at the same location. He was threatened once more. The incident was likely witnessed by numerous passers-by and motorists, who stopped or honked their horns.
At around 8:00 p.m., the suspect, who was believed to have been accompanied by several other people, and the victim encountered each other for the third time on Norderstraße. The suspect again threatened to kill the victim and stabbed him with a knife. The victim was able to flee the scene of the crime to the emergency room of a hospital, where life-threatening injuries were initially diagnosed.
The victim is no longer in critical condition.
At around 11 p.m., the suspect committed another attack: on Asmussenstraße, he struck a 25-year-old man on the head with a baseball bat, injuring him.
The suspect was finally arrested at around 11:20 p.m. in the Husum city area as part of extensive search measures.
On Thursday, at the request of the Flensburg public prosecutor’s office, he was brought before a magistrate, who ordered him to be remanded in custody. The 29-year-old man was then transferred to a prison.
The Husum Criminal Investigation Department is continuing to investigate the cases and urges any witnesses who can provide information about the incidents to do so by calling 04841-8300.
