A boy under 15 is suspected of stabbing a 40-year-old with a knife, and the search for a 22-year-old in Upernavik continues.
The past 24 hours have been busy for the Greenland Police, says Chief of Police Malik Olesen on Tuesday morning.
He highlights a number of incidents from the Daily Report. Among other things, a case from Nuuk, where a boy under 15 is suspected of stabbing a 40-year-old man with a knife at 11 o’clock on Monday evening.
– The boy is a suspect, but I can’t say anything about motive, cause or relationship to the 40-year-old, says Malik Olesen.
However, he says that a case of violence has now been opened, and that the social authorities are involved because the boy is under the age of criminal responsibility.
– The 40-year-old was taken to Queen Ingrid’s Hospital after the incident, and fortunately his life is out of danger, says the duty officer.
In addition to the case of violence against the boy, he is also the main character in a case of threats that he has made to another man in his 40s.
Search in Upernavik continues
Up north, police are still searching for 22-year-old Anton Lynge, who disappeared Saturday night at 2:47 a.m.
On Monday morning, the police reported that the man was last seen in a depressed state leaving ‘a drinking party’. The police, volunteers, relatives and the fire department have been searching for the man since Saturday, but still without success, the chief of police said Tuesday morning.
The Greenland Police have posted a wanted poster on Facebook and are urging people to keep an eye out.
In addition, Malik Olesen says that it has been a busy day with alcohol-related incidents, street disorder and house riots.
– The majority of cases have been registered in Nuuk, but there have also been cases involving alcohol on the coast.
Brugstyveri and Sisimiut
Finally, the security guard mentions an attempted theft of an ATV in Sisimiut from last night.
– Everything indicates that young people were involved, but the case is still ongoing, says Malik Olesen.
