Woman suggests a wheelchair user in Mannheim and pretends heart attack!

Paradeplatz, Mannheim, Deutschland - In Mannheim there was a shocking incident in which a 24-year-old attacked a 69-year-old wheelchair user. The incident occurred at the Paradeplatz stop. The wheelchair user wanted to go backwards out of the tram and asked the entry to go aside. The young woman ignored this request and was then slightly touched on the foot. Her reaction was disproportionate: she hit the wheelchair user in the face and insulted him. Passers -by held the woman from going again on the man and thus preventing an escalation of the situation.

After her attack, the woman deceptive a collapse and apparently wanted to distract from her behavior. When the police arrived, according to reports, she behaved startled and disrespectful. She put up for absurd allegations and claimed that the wheelchair user had run over her, her leg was broken and she suffered from a heart attack. However, the treatment by the rescue workers rejected her and apparently removed from the scene of the accident. Against the woman is now being investigated for assault and insult, since the severity of her behavior was not only the wheelchair user, but also those present.

The context of violence

The incident in Mannheim throws a significant light on the topic of violence against people with disabilities. The latest studies that were carried out on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth and the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs show that men and women in the disabled assistance institutions are subject to a significant risk of experiencing violence. Despite legal requirements that have been obliged to protect violence to suitable measures since the 2021 participation law law of 2021, the current measures are insufficient. There is an urgent need to improve and expand the protection of violence at all levels to protect affected people.

The study shows that the topic of violence in disability aid needs more attention. A specialist event of the BMAS, which will take place on July 11th, aims to discuss recommendations for action and agree on central measures. This is another step to improve violence protection, which also has a direct connection to the incident in Mannheim. This makes it clear that society should not only judge individual cases, but also has to tackle structural problems in dealing with violence against vulnerable groups of people. Further information can be found in the report of the Federal Ministry on its website BMAS.
