Suspect just released from custody
The 45-year-old man was arrested at the crime apartment. According to police and prosecutors, the man has yet to comment. According to the police, he was only released a few days earlier, for which he was convicted of threats, insults and predatory extortion, among other things.
Cyclist assaulted 59 year old
According to their own statements, the police do not see any connection to a violent crime that took place almost parallel to the Neuenhäusen district of Celle. There, a 59-year-old pedestrian was attacked by an approaching young cyclist. The 59-year-old man had to undergo emergency surgery. His life was no longer in danger on Tuesday. A 20-year-old suspect was captured Monday night after a witness gave notice. He is charged with attempted murder. His motive, as well as the possible influence of alcohol or drugs, are the subject of further investigation, he said.
All clear after midnight
Due to the initially unclear dangerous situation, the police had asked residents in the Harburger Berg area via Twitter to stay home on Monday night while police officers searched for the perpetrators with submachine guns. At approximately one in the afternoon the go-ahead came: “We are not assuming any danger to the population at this time.”
