Another day, another couple of knife attacks by migrants in Germany: this time by children as young as eleven.
An 11-year old Iraqi boy stabbed a 13-year old German boy on Thursday, May 22nd, in the western city of Remscheid.
According to media reports, three boys had arranged a brawl after school but the situation got out of hand, as one of them, the 11-year old Iraqi, took out a knife and stabbed his schoolmate two times in the leg.
The victim suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries. The weapon was a 6 centimetre-long kitchen knife.
The perpetrator fled the scene of the crime together with the third boy, before he was arrested by the police near his home.
The stabbing in Remscheid wasn’t the only such incident on Thursday.
In the morning, a 13-year-old boy “of Arab or Kurdish origin” stabbed his classmate after an argument in physical education class at a primary school in Berlin.
The victim, an eleven-year-old, survived with serious injuries and had to undergo emergency surgery.
In 2024, Berlin police identified a total of 117 children as perpetrators in a knife attack.
With the huge influx of migrants, knife attacks have become a daily occurrence in Germany. According to Messerinzidenz, a website in Germany devoted to recording the number of knife attacks that happen in the country, there have been around 1,500 such incidents already this year.
