Two suspects arrested in Munich after cruel assault in Munich

on Sunday evening, June 1, 2025, there was a brutal incident in Untergiesing that alerted the police. Around 10:00 p.m., a 54-year-old Munich, a 34-year-old German without a permanent residence and a 29-year-old from Bosnia and Herzegovina, came together. What initially started with a verbal argument, escalated quickly and ended in a dangerous bodily harm. The 54-year-old was injured by a broken glass bottle and suffered cuts on the hand. But that was not the end of his agony; He was also thrown onto the floor and kicked on the head several times.

An uninvolved witness watched the argument and immediately informed the police emergency call. When the officials arrived, all three men were still on site. The police decided to act 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 arrested were brought to the Munich's prison of the Munich police headquarters and a investigative judge. The responsible commissioner 26 has taken over the further investigation into this incident for dangerous bodily harm and threat.

A look at the current crime

Incidents like this are part of a larger trend that the security authorities observe in Germany. According to the latest data from the Federal Criminal Police Office, violent crime in 2024 rose by 1.5 % to a total of 217,277 cases. This is the highest value since 2007. The increase in non -German suspects is particularly striking, which increased by 7.5 % to 85,012 cases. Violence, which is committed by young people and children, represents a special challenge: the number of people suspected rose by 11.3 %.

Although the overall registered crimes in Germany went back 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 cannabis partialization, which has significantly led to a decline in drug crime. But without this factor, an increase in crimes would have been recorded. BKA provides current statistics.

Statistical background to assault

The number of cases of dangerous and serious bodily harm recorded has also reached high values. In recent years, the number of this crime has been shown. In the period from 2014 to 2024, the numbers have changed strikingly and the company faces the challenge of finding solutions for the prevention and elimination of violence. Statista shows how these statistics have developed.

The events in Untergiesing are another example that should all shake up to us. It is important to be attentive and to work for each other in society. The incident reminds us that violence is not a solution and that we all have the responsibility to enter into our communities for peace and security.
