Hamburg police are looking for perpetrator: sexual assault on 23-year-old!
In Hamburg-Eißendorf, a 23-year-old woman was the victim of a sexual assault on May 4th. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, more precisely at 4:58 a.m., on Dahlengrund Street. According to the investigations by the State Criminal Police Office (LKA), an unknown man approached the woman and attacked her. The young woman fought back and was able to chase away the perpetrator, who then fled unrecognized. Despite extensive investigations, the police have not yet managed to identify and catch the attacker. This is reported by NDR.
After the incident, the victim immediately alerted the police and ran to safety. The public prosecutor's office receives support through a court order for a public search. In order to catch the perpetrator, the police published photos from a surveillance camera showing the suspect. He is described as a man with short, dark hair, wearing dark pants, a dark quilted jacket and white sneakers. The police are calling on all witnesses to come forward. Information can be reported by calling 040 4286-56789 or at a police station, informs Hamburg Police.
Background on violence against women
The attack on the 23-year-old highlights the problem of violence against women and girls, an issue that is also taken seriously in Hamburg. A comprehensive analysis of violent phenomena can be found in the fact sheet on victim protection. This includes not only sexual violence, but also domestic violence, stalking, forced marriage practices and female genital mutilation. It is particularly touching that Hamburg advice centers and women's shelters can offer help to the women affected in order to better support them. Details can be found in Hamburg Victim Protection.
In such incidents, it is important that victims do not feel alone and know who they can turn to in their distress. The Hamburg social authorities provide information on protective accommodation, court proceedings and other support offers for those affected. This is the only way to break the cycle of violence and provide timely help in an emergency.
It remains to be hoped that the publication of the mugshots will quickly provide new information so that the police can bring the unknown perpetrator to justice.
