Unknown is threatened by mother and child - police are looking for witnesses in Bremen!

A terrifying incident occurred on June 30, 2025 in Horn-Lehe when a 31-year-old mother and her one-year-old daughter were waiting on the tram at the “Horner Mühle” stop. At around 7.45 p.m. she was threatened by an unknown man. The latter asked her to lose her headscarf and threatened to death if she did not meet. The man was extremely aggressive and, after the incident, climbed into tram line 4 towards Lilienthal.

The mother had the courage to take a photo of the man, which led to another threat. He explained that he would kill her daughter if she didn't delete the picture. This threatening Situation was not hidden from other passers -by at the stop that witnesses were and the police informed. The Bremen police officers are now looking for further witnesses of the incident.

description of the perpetrator

The man sought is about 55 to 60 years old, about 1.80 meters tall and corpulent. Its appearance was characterized by dark, godled hair with a side parting, as well as a three-day beard. The clothes included a white, short -sleeved shirt, beige pants, gray shoes and sunglasses.

The police call for views or information about the perpetrator at the crime service service at 0421 362-3888. The incident is not only alarming, but also highlights the widespread violence, especially women, in Germany. According to [Statista] (https://de.statista.com/themen/6635/galt- against-frauen/), violence against women is a serious social problem-many women feel uncertain in public, especially in darkness.

context of violence against women

such incidents are part of a worrying statistics: in 2023, 181,000 of the 256,000 victims of domestic violence were women in Germany. In many cases, violence is done in a personal or family environment. The number of unreported cases is high because many deeds are never reported, often shaped by the shame and feelings of guilt of those affected. It is particularly critical that women receive support, e.g. via the help telephone "Violence against women" under 116 016, which is an important contact point for numerous women and children affected annually.

With this incident in Bremen it becomes clear again: it is important to be attentive and show civil courage. In a similar situation, everyone can help in the name of security and protection for everyone - especially for the weaker in our society.

For observations that can contribute to the investigation of the events, the Bremen police are always grateful and hopes for valuable information from the population.
