Man threatens witnesses with knife in Duisburg
A 33-year-old man allegedly threatened several witnesses with a knife in Duisburg-Kaßlerfeld on 26 July. The witnesses had seen the man trying the doors of parked cars and later leaving an apartment building with a rucksack and a wallet. When they confronted him, he allegedly pulled a knife from his waist bag, held it in their direction and left. Officers located the suspected offender shortly afterwards in a rear courtyard on Ruhrorter Straße, provisionally detained him and seized, among other items, the knife. A woman later confirmed that several items were missing from the building. The man was due to be brought before a judge on suspicion of robbery-like theft; investigations are ongoing.
