Escape From Forensic Psychiatry in Bremen
A 49-year-old man escaped from the forensic ward of Bremen-East Hospital during the night into Sunday. According to police, Kaan Hayrat is currently at large; the authorities have initiated extensive search measures.
Hayrat was compulsorily detained in the clinic due to serious criminal offences. The Bremen Regional Court sentenced him in December 2019 to ten years in prison for multiple arson attacks and a knife attack, and additionally ordered his detention in psychiatric care.
Police explicitly warn the public against addressing the man or approaching him. Anyone who sees Hayrat should keep their distance and call the emergency number 110. The fugitive is approximately 175 centimetres tall and slim, with brown eyes and brown hair. He was last wearing a brown quilted gilet with a hood, a blue shirt and black patent shoes, as well as a three-day beard. Police are investigating the exact circumstances of his escape.
