Hollandsk statsborger efterlyses internationalt for brutalt overfald

En 25-årig mand blev søndag den 15. maj 2022 offer for et brutalt overfald på en adresse i Silkegade. Her blev han stukket flere gange med kniv på kroppen, fik skåret sin ene kind op og skåret sit venstre øre af. 

Tirsdag aften anholdt Københavns Politi en 20-årig mand, som er mistænkt for overfaldet sammen med en medgerningsmand. 

Den mistænkte medgerningsmand er den 24-årige hollandske statsborger, Yahye Mohamed Omar, som Københavns Politi nu efterlyser internationalt. 

”Vi har en formodning om, at han befinder sig i udlandet. Muligvis i Sverige, Norge - omkring Oslo eller det nordlige Tyskland, som vores indledende efterforskning peger i retning af. Men da den mistænkte er hollandsk statsborger og har bånd til Storbritannien, så søger vi også efter ham i de lande,” siger politikommissær Kenneth Jensen fra Afdelingen for personfarlig kriminalitet i Københavns Politi. 

Denne efterlysning er derfor delt med medier i Sverige, Norge, Tyskland, Holland og Storbritannien. Københavns Politi anser Yahye Mohamed Omar som værende farlig, og borgere bør ikke forsøge at kontakte ham eller tilbageholde ham, men skal i stedet straks kontakte politiet, hvis man ser ham. 

”Det var et særdeles brutalt overfald, så vi har en intensiv efterforskning for at få Yahye Mohamed Omar bag tremmer. Vi har et godt samarbejde med vores kolleger i udlandet, men vi har brug for borgernes hjælp. Så hvis nogen ved noget om, hvor han befinder sig, skal man ringe til os på 1-1-4,” siger Kenneth Jensen. 

Dutch citizen wanted for brutal assault in Copenhagen 

Copenhagen Police have issued an international warrant for the 24-year-old Dutch citizen Yahye Mohamed Omar. He is a suspect in a brutal assault in Copenhagen on May 15, 2022. 

A 25-year-old man was the victim of a brutal assault in an apartment in Silkegade in Copenhagen on Sunday May 15, 2022. During the assault the victim was stabbed repeatedly on his body, had his cheek cut open and his left ear cut off. 

On Tuesday evening, Copenhagen Police arrested a 20-year-old man for the assault, which he is suspected of carrying out with a co-assailant. Copenhagen Police suspects the co-assailant to be the 24-year old Dutch citizen, Yahye Mohamed Omar. An international arrest warrant has been issued for him. 

“Our initial investigation indicates, that he has left Denmark and is either staying in or have travelled through Sweden, Norway – the area around Oslo – and Northern Germany. Since the suspect is a Dutch citizen and has ties to Great Britain, we are also searching for him in these countries,” says Superintendent Kenneth Jensen from Copenhagen Police. 

The suspect is considered dangerous and people should not try to approach or apprehend him. If anyone sees him, they should contact the police immediately.  

“The assault was particularly brutal; therefore we are appealing to anyone who has seen or knows anything about where Yahye Mohamed Omar is, to please get in touch with us. We are working with our international colleagues, but we need help from the public,” says Kenneth Jensen.
