Shocked shot in Frankfurt: 19-year-old arrested after an argument!

Two weeks ago, on June 3, 2025, a frightening incident occurred at the Galluswarte S-Bahn station in Frankfurt at around 7:30 p.m. A 29-year-old man was shot in the face with a blank pistol during an argument by another man. The situation quickly escalated and ended with serious injuries for the victim, who was taken to a clinic, but his life was not in danger, as [Tagesschau](https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/hessen/hr-nach-gas Pistolen-schuss-an-frankfurter-s-bahn-station-19-jaehriger-festgehen-100.html) reports.

The suspected perpetrator, a 19-year-old man from Frankfurt, fled after the crime with a female companion on one of the S-Bahn line S3. Witnesses described him as being about 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a dark mustache and slicked-back black hair, wearing a black T-shirt and dark sweatpants. The relationship between the two men, who got into a heated argument, remained unclear. The incident caused significant restrictions on S-Bahn traffic, as the tracks at the station were closed for police and investigative work, which meant that several lines did not run towards the city center, as [fr.de](https://www.fr.de/frankfurt/mit-gas Pistole-ins-face-an-frankfurter-bahnhof-mann-schiesst-anderem-mann-bei-streit-93768170.html) confirmed.

Arrest of the suspect

After a public manhunt, investigators finally managed to arrest the suspect. Information from the public led to the 19-year-old being identified. At this point, the suspect's lawyer also contacted the federal police. However, the investigators did not consider the reasons for his arrest to be sufficient, which is why the young man was released from custody on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. The investigations against him are still in full swing.

In addition, the female companion who was at his side at the time of the crime is still wanted as a witness. She is described as a woman with light brown hair tied in a low ponytail, wearing a gray sweater and gray sweatpants. A small brown, gray and white handbag also caught the eye. The police are asking all possible witnesses to call 069/130 145 0 or contact any police station in order to further advance the investigation.

Crisis in public space

Such incidents highlight the security situation in public spaces, which is increasingly coming into focus in Frankfurt and other cities. The police provide regular crime information showing how the situation has developed over the years. This data is important to make the fight against crime more effective and to give citizens a feeling of security.
