Intoxicated Perpetrator Attacks Partner
The incident occurred in an apartment in the area of Hanns-Eisler-Straße. According to current police findings, the man suddenly and without prior provocation physically attacked his partner. He was noticeably under the influence of alcohol at the time of the offense.
Despite the violent assault, the victim escaped relatively lightly: medical care for the woman by the emergency services was not required on-site. To finally defuse the situation and protect the victim from further attacks, the officers took decisive action. A ten-day eviction order was issued against the aggressor. He had to leave the apartment immediately.
Background: Eviction Orders and Help in Emergencies
The affected Hanns-Eisler-Straße is located in Neulobeda-West, Jena’s largest prefabricated housing area, which was built starting in the late 1960s and today provides a home for tens of thousands of people. Regardless of the specific place of residence, police procedures regarding domestic violence are strictly regulated.
The Thuringian Act on the Tasks and Powers of the Police (PAG) enables officers to evict perpetrators from the shared apartment for up to ten days to avert danger (“He who hits, leaves”). This period gives victims the important opportunity to find peace, initiate legal steps, and contact counseling services.
Those affected by domestic violence in Thuringia can turn to various contact points. The nationwide helpline “Violence against women” is available around the clock and free of charge at 116 016. In Jena, the TOWANDA women’s center or the Frauenhaus Jena e.V. association, among others, offer confidential support.
