Two suspects arrested after gruesome assault in Munich
On Sunday evening, June 1, 2025, there was a brutal incident in Untergiesing that alerted the police. At around 10 p.m., a 54-year-old from Munich, a 34-year-old from Germany without a permanent address and a 29-year-old from Bosnia and Herzegovina met each other. What initially began as a verbal argument quickly escalated and ended in dangerous bodily harm. The 54-year-old was injured by a broken glass bottle and suffered cuts to his hand. But that wasn't the end of his torment; He was also thrown to the ground and kicked several times in the head.
An uninvolved witness observed the altercation and immediately called the police emergency number. When officers arrived, all three men were still on site. The police decided to take action and then arrested the 34-year-old and the 29-year-old. The injured 54-year-old received outpatient treatment from the emergency services and was then released by the police. The two detainees were taken to the Munich police headquarters detention center and brought before an investigating judge. The responsible Commissariat 26 has taken over the further investigation into this incident due to dangerous bodily harm and threats. News Munich reports about it.
A look at current crime
Incidents like this are part of a larger trend that security authorities in Germany are observing. According to the latest data from the Federal Criminal Police Office, violent crime rose by 1.5% in 2024 to a total of 217,277 cases. This is the highest figure since 2007. The increase in non-German suspects is particularly noticeable, increasing by 7.5% to 85,012 cases. Violence committed by young people and children poses a particular challenge: the number of suspected children increased by 11.3%.
Although the total number of registered crimes in Germany fell slightly by 1.7% to around 5,837,445 in 2024, violent crime remains a serious problem that must not be lost sight of. One reason for the decline is the partial legalization of cannabis, which has led to a significant decrease in drug-related crime. But without this factor there would have been an increase in crimes.

In the period from 2014 to 2024, the numbers have changed significantly and society is faced with the challenge of finding solutions to prevent and eliminate violence.
