A menace delivered by the CSD, indicating a fatal warning
In an unfortunate incident that took place early Sunday morning, a 23-year-old man was targeted with homophobic abuse and death threats in the heart of Bremen.
The victim, who had been participating in the CSD event earlier, was wearing corresponding pins and patches on his clothing, possibly identifying him as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Three unknown individuals approached him near Wall, in the centre of the city.
One of the individuals brandished a knife and threatened to stab the young man, while the others subjected him to homophobic slurs. The man, understandably shaken, approached the authorities to report the incident.
The suspect was described as tanned, with a dark three-day beard and short curly hair. However, the identity of the threatening group remains unknown. The police are currently investigating the matter and appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the prejudice and violence that still exists in our society. It is crucial that such acts are reported and addressed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation.
The name of the victim has not been disclosed in the available sources to protect his privacy during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with him, and we hope that justice will be served.
