Shocking moment at the wine festival: 16-year-old attacks the police!
On the night of Saturday to Sunday, August 10, 2025, an incident occurred at around 2:00 a.m. at the Bretzenheimer Wine Festival in Bad Kreuznach that brought the local police to the scene. Loud news.de The police were alerted due to an assault. On scene, officers found a 16-year-old girl who was injured, although her parents were not present.
The injured teenager apparently did not want to be notified by her parents and refused medical measures to treat her injuries. Her behavior was particularly striking: she tried several times to leave the location and actively defended herself by throwing punches and kicks. A police officer was hit by her kicks, which further escalated the situation.
Troublemaker in custody
After this incident, the 16-year-old had to be taken to the police station. It wasn't just her who caused a stir - her friend also insulted the officers present. During her stay at the office, the accused kicked the inventory several times, but did not cause any damage. After the measures were completed, the young woman was finally handed over to her parents. The officers deployed were then able to continue their duties without restrictions, despite the inconvenience.
The incident falls into a larger context of youth crime in Germany, which has increased worryingly in recent years. According to information from Statista There were around 13,800 cases of juvenile crime in 2024, more than twice as many as in 2016. This increase particularly affects young people between the ages of 14 and 17 as well as young adults up to the age of 20, with psychological stress caused by the Corona measures being cited as a possible explanation.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) emphasizes that more than three quarters of the young suspects are male. This raises questions about prevention and stimulates debates about possible measures in the juvenile justice system.
What is particularly alarming is that, despite a decline in the number of young suspects by around 6 percent in 2024, there is evidence to suggest that the problems in this area are far from being solved. It remains to be seen what measures politicians will take to prevent a further increase in youth violence.
