News From a news agency In the courts
  • A 24-year-old man, previously released after being injured by police gunfire during a car chase in Haderslev, will now face a custody hearing.
  • Police initially found insufficient grounds for remand but have since changed their position.
  • The man faces charges of attempted murder, though the specific motive and target remain unclear.

A 24-year-old man, who was injured by police gunfire after a car chase in Haderslev last week, is now set to be brought before a preliminary hearing with a demand for remand custody. The development marks a shift from the initial assessment by authorities.

Syd- og Sønderjyllands Police announced that the man would be presented at the Court in Sønderborg on Saturday at 11 a.m. This follows an earlier statement from the police last week indicating that the initial investigation did not provide sufficient grounds to bring the man before a custody hearing, leading to his subsequent release.

The incident occurred when police officers pursued the 24-year-old man driving a vehicle. The chase involved shots fired by police on Ribe Landevej and again near the intersection of Moltrup Landevej and Norgesvej/Lænkebjerg, where the man was hit.

The 24-year-old was charged with attempted murder on Monday. However, the specific reasons for the charge and the identity of the individual he allegedly attempted to kill have not yet been disclosed.
