Seniors in Lichtenfeld attack: robbers threaten couple with a knife!

On December 14, 2024, a presumably right-wing extremist attack on members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in Berlin-Lichterfelde occurred. The police asks for clues to the incidents that took place at a bus stop, followed by resistance to the emergency services. A point of view of the State Criminal Police Office was set up to support the Enlightenment, such as berlin.de reported.

Another worrying event took place in the Märkisches Quarter, where an 81-year-old man called the police the previous afternoon. He stated that he rang his apartment door around 2.30 p.m. When he opened, two unknowns, a young man and a young woman, urged him to the apartment, followed by two more accomplices. The couple, the 81-year-old and his 87-year-old wife, were threatened and tied up with a knife. In the attack, the quartet was able to flee cash while the seniors freed themselves from the bonds. Both suffered injuries to the head and the arms and received medical help on site, as police report-berlin.de reported. The investigation against the perpetrators continues.
