On Wednesday, the 5th of June 2024 at around 09:15 p.m., a 49-year-old German bus driver in Bergen reported that a man had kicked his bus. The man was also apparently cutting election posters with a kitchen knife.
Police officers immediately arrived at the disruptive man and asked him to put the knife down. Although he complied, he still attacked the officers. The officers were not injured – the attacker, a 22-year-old Afghan national, was ultimately handcuffed and taken to a hospital in Stralsund after an emergency doctor was called.
The knife was a kitchen knife with a fixed blade of 11.5 cm. It was confiscated. Criminal charges were brought on suspicion of criminal damage (at least one ‘Citizens for Conservative Values’ election poster) and attempted criminal damage (the bus was not damaged) as well as resisting and assaulting law enforcement officers.
