In the heart of the Nordstadt district, a chilling wave of violence has gripped the area, leaving three men fighting for their lives after being viciously stabbed. The first attack occurred in Keuning Park, not far from the red-light district "Linienstraße" and the fire station. Just 300 meters away, another crime scene echoed with terror on the same night. Less than ten minutes' stroll away, Goethestrasse became the stage for a third brutal encounter.
A sense of unease pervades the area, and a local mother pushing her baby carriage through the park expresses her fears. "It's scary," she admits, "but what can you do? You can't just stay at home..." As if to reassure her, a patrol car rolls into Keuning Park from Leopoldstraße, driving slowly through the aisles. The dealers maintain their calm, chatting away.
Nordstadt's Dark Secret
Following the attacks, the police have intensified their presence in the infamous Nordstadt neighborhood. One officer shares his concern, "In fact, you hardly stand a chance of catching him like this. It's getting worse and worse. Nordstadt is murder city, they say internally..."
Suspects are meticulously checked and searched for weapons upon entering Nordstadt. However, the elusive serial offender appears to always adhere to a familiar pattern. He targets his victims, demands cash, and stabs them before disappearing into the gloom.
