Today, early Sunday morning, around 5:20 a.m., in a fast food restaurant in the Kassel district of Bettenhausen, there was a dispute between a 23-year-old Syrian citizen living in Kassel, a 35-year-old German of Iraqi origin, and a 26-year-old man from Colombia, who wanted to mediate between the two of the aforementioned. According to the current state of the investigation, the dispute arose because the 35-year-old had chatted with the 23-year-old’s girlfriend, which he disliked. The situation then apparently escalated to such an extent that the 23-year-old attacked the other two men in the course of the physical confrontation with a jackknife. Both men suffered cuts on their hands and upper body, which were not life-threatening, but had to be treated in Kassel hospitals after first aid by the paramedics. The aggressor could still be arrested in the restaurant by the police officers who had been alerted by emergency call and the  knife could be seized. Witnesses who can provide further relevant information are asked to contact the East Police Department by calling 0561 910-2520.

A 29-year-old woman (blonde hair tied to a plait and a white top) and her child (6 months; female), lying in a pram, got on a new low-floor tram line 4, direction Stötteritz, at Leipzig main station around 7:40 p.m. or later (7:50 p.m.) on May 30, 2019. At the stop Stötteritzer Straße/Riebeckstraße an unknown man with the following description got on at about 7:53 p.m. or a little later, about 8:03 p.m.:
– Mediterranean appearance
– Age between 40 and 50 years
– black full beard, black shirt
– unkempt appearance
The 29-year-old woman herself was at the time in the rear area (pram area), standing in front of the pram. The unknown person briefly looked at the 29-year-old and suddenly went to the pram. The unknown suspect then reached into the pram with his left hand and choked the baby’s neck. Instinctively, the mother tried to knock his hand away, but this didn’t succeed immediately. Thereupon she pulled an animal repellent spray out of her pocket and sprayed it into the face of the stranger. 
He then staggered back and fell down. At that moment the tram stopped at the Stötteritzer station, where the mother got out with the pram and ran home. She then informed the police. An emergency doctor was called and examined the baby, which did not suffer any injuries and was healthy. However, the immediate measures taken by the police afterwards did not lead to a success due to the late reporting.
The criminal investigation department is looking for passengers and witnesses who can provide information on the facts of the case. They are requested to report to the police station Leipzig-Zentrum, Dimitroffstraße 1 in 04107 Leipzig by calling (0341) 966-34224 or (0341) 966-34100.

The officers of the Sexual Crimes Squad of the Heidelberg Criminal Investigation Department are currently investigating a sexually motivated crime on Friday night. The victim, a 21-year-old woman, was walking in the old town of Heidelberg around 01:00 a.m. with a friend of the same age. Most likely in the Kettengasse the two young women met a group of men of about the same age. As a result, a verbal confrontation is said to have occurred, as a result of which one of the strangers stepped out of the group and touched the 21-year-old indecently. According to the two injured women, they were insulted first. The suspects between the ages of 18 and 23 who were arrested as part of the search later stated that they had also been verbally attacked; they denied that one of the injured persons had been groped by them.
