A 67-year-old from Bremerhaven announced in a TikTok video that he would ‘stab’ southern-looking people at the Christmas market. “Anyone. I bring plenty of knives,” he said. The man was temporarily arrested and examined by a psychiatrist.
The author of the video was identified and provisionally arrested in Bremerhaven (state of Bremen) on Sunday evening. According to the police, there is no danger to the public. Several TikTok users had alerted her to the threat. The 67-year-old had not made such statements before.
He admitted that he had been drinking alcohol and that it was the biggest bullshit he had ever done, police said. In the video, the man from Bremerhaven announced that he would ‘stab’ all Arab or southern-looking people on Christmas Day (December 25). “Any. I’ll bring plenty of knives.” This is no joke, said the German.
A proceeding is pending
The crime scene is said to be the Christmas market in the northern German city, which lasts until December 30. It is now being investigated whether the 67-year-old disturbed public peace. He risks a fine or a prison sentence of up to three years.
After the attack in Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt), the Christmas markets are currently the focus of security authorities in Germany. As reported, a man drove a car through the Christmas market in the eastern German city on Friday evening, killing at least five people, including a nine-year-old child. Up to 235 other people were injured.
The psychiatrist from Saudi Arabia was known as an opponent of Islam and had accused the German state in messages of promoting Islamization and “persecuting” ex-Muslim women.
