Kassel (ots)

An incident that took place on the evening of August 15th in a cantus railway between Melsungen and the Kassel Central Station, triggers concern in the community. A 33-year-old mother from Melsungen was attacked by an unknown man during her train journey, which she did accompanied by her little children. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m.

an unacceptable aggression

The young mother experienced a worrying moment when the attacker complained about the behavior of her children. Obviously, he bothered the noise that the toddlers caused. In a verbal outbreak, he shouted at the children, which caused the mother to protect himself from her offspring. This resulted in the man becoming grossly and putting the woman a blow against the shoulder. Fortunately, she was unharmed, but the psychological consequences of such aggression, especially near children, should not be underestimated.

The fleeing of the perpetrator

After arriving at the Kassel Central Station, the man fled. He was described as well dressed, about 50 years old and had slightly gray hair. Further details about his person are currently unclear what complicates the search for him.
