Woman attacked by young people at Pirmasenser train station! Witnesses wanted!
An incident that raises many questions occurred on January 15, 2026, when a 51-year-old woman was injured at the main train station in Pirmasens. According to reporting by Rhine Palatinate The woman was knocked over by a group of young people and suffered facial injuries. A passer-by discovered her bleeding in front of the station building and immediately alerted the police. At the time of the incident, the woman was under the influence of alcohol, which may have influenced the incident. Police spokesman Thomas Krämer emphasizes that the police have initiated an investigation into grievous bodily harm because the reason for the attack remains unclear - there was no robbery. The perpetrators were able to escape undetected and the injured woman was unable to give a description of the attackers. We therefore urgently request information from witnesses.
This incident highlights the current problem surrounding juvenile crime. According to the Federal Agency for Civic Education Most young people who commit crimes are predominantly male and the problem is not a minority phenomenon. The majority of these young people often leave their criminal behavior behind as they grow up. Even though violent acts of violence are rare in youth crime, statistics show that up to 70 percent of young people have been involved in a crime in the last 12 months.
The reaction of the authorities
The police have taken note of the incident at the main train station and are actively looking for witnesses who may have made observations that could help solve the attack. Information can be sent to the Pirmasens police by calling 0631 36915199 or sending an email to pipirmasens@polizei.rlp.de. It remains to be seen how the further investigation will proceed and whether further details about the perpetrators will come to light.
These types of incidents are worrying, especially as the risk of juvenile crime is a serious issue. According to surveys by bpb There is a high level of self-reporting of criminal behavior in schools, and the problem has also become more important due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Young people experience increasing crime in their social environment not only as perpetrators but also as victims of violence. This demands the attention of schools, parents and society at large.
Current events in the region
The incident is not the only one to dominate the news that day. Combat training for paratroopers in Zweibrücken, medical restrictions on water consumption in Mörsbach and a traffic accident in Zweibrücken in which two drivers were seriously injured are other headlines of the day. How SWR reports, the Kaiserslautern district is also in the process of designating more commercial space in order to offer space to large companies. These are all issues that keep the region moving.
In times when social issues such as security and youth crime are becoming more and more present, it is of great importance to seek dialogue and find solutions. The injured woman and the unidentified perpetrators are at the center of current discussions about security in public spaces.
