Syrian attacker in Bad Doberan: police threatened and injured!

in Bad Doberan there was an incident in the morning of June 12, 2025, which indicates the psychological challenges of refugees. A 27-year-old Syrian insulted, threatened and finally attacked police officers. The situation escalated after the officials of a medical center in Goethestrasse were alerted because the man aggressively called for the release of medication. Despite the rapid reaction of the police, the circumstances for the officials were challenging. The man who had no dangerous object with him opposed the police's requests, and after a dismissal he attacked the officers with punches. The police were finally able to overwhelm and fix him before a medical facility was visited due to its striking mental state. An investigation is now underway against him for insulting, threats, and an assault on enforcement officers, while the criminal police have the further investigation, as [BILD] reports.

This incident is not an isolated case if you look at the psychological background of refugees. The war in Syria has enormous influence on the mental health of the people affected. Many, such as the 54-year-old Samir al-Salim, suffer from anxiety and depression after their escape. As [taz] informs, studies show that 99 percent of the inland refugees in Idlib suffer from symptoms of post -traumatic stress disorder. Samir, who had to flee from bombing, shows an example that psychological problems often remain un -treated. These stressful experiences and the stigma, which can be connected to it, not only contribute to personal fates, but also to incidents such as in Bad Doberan.

The health challenges of refugees

In Germany, a large number of studies show that refugees often suffer significantly from mental illnesses. Refugees from Syria in particular show high prevalence of trauma and stress symptoms. According to [Baff], over 40 % of those surveyed are affected by a significant study of traumatic experiences. Sadly, about 74.7 % report on different forms of violence that they experienced, while 42.9 % complained about nervousness. These circumstances, combined with the uncertainty about their future and the often poor living conditions in recording facilities, lead to a particularly high risk of mental illnesses such as post -traumatic stress disorders.

The synergy of war experiences in their homeland and the challenges that life in a new country brings is huge. The fact that the darkness of the psychological stress visible is particularly alarming, as recent incidents show. In addition, the question of dealing with society with these problems and how better support for refugees can be guaranteed in the future.

whether in Bad Doberan or elsewhere, the stories and challenges of refugees earn more attention and a better understanding to help both and society as a whole.
