Shocking attack in Cologne: policewoman seriously injured!

Ehrenfeld, Deutschland - Recently, a shocking incident became public in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne, which once again sparked the debate about police violence and dealing with perpetrators. On November 15, 2024, the 40-year-old Mbanbe M., a criminal man from the Congo, attacked arbitrarily passers-by and injured several people. The police were called, and when the officials arrived, the perpetrator made bitter resistance. The attack on a policewoman was particularly dramatic, which he not only pushed to the ground, but also dragged on his hair. In a fateful moment, Mbanbe bite her a piece of the auricle, which not only led to serious physical injuries, but also to work and intensive traumatization of the policewoman.

In the following process, which ended on May 30, 2025, Mbanbe M. admitted the facts, but stated that he could not remember because he was under drugs. The Cologne Regional Court imposed a four -year sentence against him and also ordered the payment of 30,000 euros in pain and suffering to the traumatized policewoman.

The focus of police violence in the focus

This incident throws a bright light on the topic of police violence, which has been increasingly discussed in Germany since the George Floyd case. Studies, such as those from the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, show that police force can be present not only in exceptional situations, such as at major events, but also in everyday operations. Police violence is defined as the excessive use of physical violence by civil servants, which has assumed alarming proportions in Germany. The study reports that mainly young men are affected by such experiences and that stress, personnel bottlenecks and defective communication are often triggered for violent attacks. Haufe is that it is important that affected citizens are trusting and legal steps to report Company.
