Stralsund (dpa / mv) – For an unknown reason, a 71-year-old suffered a life-threatening head injury in Stralsund. Now the police are looking for witnesses. Passers-by found the man lying on the ground late in the evening two weeks ago (February 17), the police said on Friday. He was taken to a clinic in Greifswald. According to medical assessments, a fall as the cause of the wound can probably be ruled out, but there were strong gusts of wind in the city that evening. It is still unclear whether it was an accident or a crime.
According to the information, the 71-year-old cannot remember what happened. Apparently, after a visit to a restaurant, he initially walked alone in the direction of the Knieper district. He was found on Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse. According to police, he was wearing a black hooded jacket and black jeans. The investigators are now asking for information from the public: people who may have seen the man between 10:40 p.m. and 11:10 p.m. alone or accompanied, who have observed the development of the injury or other abnormalities, are asked to report immediately.
