In Bremen’s Überseestadt district, a Moroccan man allegedly sexually assaulted a 17-year-old boy after the teen visited a gym on Baumstrasse.
The man, who later identified himself as Moroccan, reportedly approached the 17-year-old boy after he left a gym in Bremen’s Überseestadt district on Monday evening.
After a brief conversation, the suspect suddenly kissed the boy. The police report notes that he then committed “sexual acts” on the youth; however, the Bremen police have not specified the exact nature of these acts. The suspect eventually stopped and fled.
An investigation into the sexual assault has been launched.
During the incident, the man told the boy that he was from Morocco and spoke English. The suspect is described as between 30 and 40 years old, 175 centimeters tall, and with a slight paunch. He had black hair, a black-gray beard, and was wearing dark clothing, according to the police report.
Police are currently conducting a manhunt for the suspect, but so far, no arrest has been made.
Bremen has a major crime and immigration problem
Bremen, a notoriously left-wing city, has had serious problems due to the influx of newcomers. In fact, an incredible 73 percent of all crime suspects are foreigners, and by some metrics, it was labeled the “most dangerous city in Germany” in 2023.
Bremen’s Interior Senator Ulrich Mäurer of the far-left Social Democrats (SPD) even stated that the city’s immigration policy has been a disaster and is contributing to housing and social problems, including an exploding crime rate.
The city is “completely overwhelmed with taking in so many people,” said Mäurer while speaking with German newspaper Weser-Kurier, adding that the problems have “worsened.”
Mäurer has been there since the start, helping guide the city’s radical policy towards immigration. The 73-year-old has been in office for 16 years. It is only now that he blames “massive immigration” for the housing shortage and “enormous difficulties” in daycares, schools, and at job sites.
Bremen has been one of the most open cities to mass immigration over the last decade. In 2018, the city declared itself a “safe haven,” and that designation is still in place. The declaration signed at the time states: “We welcome refugees – and are ready to take more people.”
“If the problems are not solved,” said Mäurer, “it is no wonder that more and more people are turning away from our democratic community.”
Mäurer also spoke of a spiraling crime crisis in his liberal bastion of a city.
“We have seen a massive increase in robberies since the summer of 2023, which we can clearly attribute to migration,” said Mäurer: “The majority of these crimes are committed by young men from North Africa.”
In fact, the problem had grown so serious by the end of 2024 that Bremen’s police initiated a special force called “Young Robbers” to target these foreigners. The new force has opened 1,000 investigations and identified 350 suspects.
