In the early morning hours, a violent robbery took place in Bremen: in the district of Burg-Grambke, a pizza courier was attacked and robbed. According to the police, the incident occurred at dawn as the delivery worker returned to his scooter after completing an order. Two unknown offenders approached from behind, sprayed pepper spray into his face, assaulted him and stole his belongings.
The Bremen police report that the attackers acted quickly and in a coordinated manner. After using the spray, one of the criminals delivered several blows to the courier while the other searched his pockets. They stole his mobile phone, wallet containing cash and his work bag. The injured courier managed to reach a nearby residential building, where residents immediately alerted the police and emergency services.
Paramedics diagnosed severe irritation to the eyes and skin as well as bruises to the head and face. The man was taken to hospital; his condition is stable, but he is temporarily unable to work due to the injuries.
Police launched an investigation and issued an appeal for witnesses. According to initial findings, the attackers fled towards nearby residential blocks. Investigators believe that private security cameras or dashcams from parked cars may have captured footage. They are also examining whether this case is connected to similar incidents reported in the northern districts of Bremen in recent months.
Authorities increased patrols in the area and urged delivery workers to be cautious, especially during early morning and late evening hours. Police note that assaults on delivery staff are becoming more common in larger cities, with offenders often choosing times when streets are relatively empty.
The incident is being treated as a serious crime involving bodily harm and robbery. Police are asking anyone who was in the Burg-Grambke area at the time of the incident or who noticed suspicious behaviour to come forward.
The attack has caused concern within the delivery worker community and among local residents. Social media users expressed support for the injured courier and called for improved safety measures in the region. The investigation is ongoing, and police hope for public assistance to identify the perpetrators.
