Gang chased 21-year-old
They reacted extremely aggressively and attacked the 21-year-old. He almost paid for his civil courage with his life. Because the gang chased him. Suddenly one of them pulled a knife. The young man suffered cuts and stab wounds to his back and thigh and collapsed. Alerted police officers applied a tourniquet to his leg to stop the blood flow. The injured man was taken by ambulance to hospital, where he has since been discharged. He is now recovering from his injuries. The suspected perpetrator has now been caught. He is an 18-year-old Syrian. The murder weapon has also been recovered.
Civil courage deserves special mention
