A 20-year-old attacked an employee in the Schleswig youth facility. He tries to take her hostage and escape, but fails due to prison security. The woman suffered serious head injuries.
A prison employee was seriously injured in an attempted hostage-taking in the Schleswig youth facility. A 20-year-old inmate suddenly attacked the woman when she opened the cell door on Saturday afternoon and severely injured her head, the head of the facility in Schleswig said.
According to the findings so far, the prisoner attacked the employee with punches and kicks. “His obvious attempt to take hostages and then escape failed due to the general security precautions of the prison,” the prison director said. When asked, however, she did not explain why the escape failed.
The injured worker is a prison officer who is responsible for the care and treatment of prisoners. She is no longer in the hospital. According to the information, both the employees and the prisoners were offered psychological support after the incident.
The perpetrator, a German, is said to be serving a youth sentence of two years and two months for robbery with bodily harm. He was transferred to the security department of the Lübeck prison on Saturday evening.
