Shock in Wolfsburg: 12-year-old brutally attacked by youth gang!
On January 7, 2026, an incident occurred in Wolfsburg that raised eyebrows. A twelve-year-old boy was attacked by a group of young people at the “Altes Brauhaus” bus stop near the fire station in Fallersleben around 7:30 p.m. The trigger was an offensive gesture from a young person on a passing bus.
The group, consisting of four to five young people, got off the bus and confronted the boy in a grassy area at the volunteer fire department. The child suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to the hospital. A boy of the same age was there, helped quickly and immediately informed the victim's mother. This shows that not all young people act violently; there are also heroes in the neighborhood.
Description of the attackers and escape
The attackers were between 15 and 16 years old, between 1.70 and 1.85 meters tall and wore dark clothing. Four of them had lightly tanned skin, while one youth had lighter skin. After the crime, they fled towards a kiosk in the city center. The police in Fallersleben are now looking for witnesses who can provide further information. We are looking for people who can contribute something to the crime or the perpetrators and who should call 05362/967410.
Such incidents raise concerns and show that violence among young people is not an isolated incident. Loud Mirror There is a growing trend in juvenile crime that is also affecting other cities. Youth violence in Germany reached an alarming high of around 13,800 cases in 2024 and is more than twice as high as in 2016.
Background to youth violence
Psychological stress caused by Corona measures and the challenges that young people face are often cited as possible causes for the increase in violence and aggression. Loud Statista The majority of suspected young people are male, which could be due to acquired behavior and traditional role models. In the discussion about criminal responsibility, there is also discussion about harsher sanctions in juvenile criminal law, but this is also controversial.
While there has been a decline in the overall number of young suspects, the increase in violent incidents remains worrying. It is clear that not only punishment, but also preventive measures are crucial to prevent young people from slipping into a life of crime.
The Wolfsburg case is a wake-up call that reminds us that we all have a role to play in protecting and supporting young people. By paying attention and standing up for our fellow human beings, we can help prevent such acts of violence in the future.
