Dortmund Accident Sparks Crowd Violence and Investigation

A 4-year-old boy was lightly injured after being struck by a car, leading to a crowd of 100 people damaging the vehicle and police launching investigations into multiple actions.

The incident occurred on Monday evening in Dortmund's Innenstadt-Nord district when a child unexpectedly ran onto the street and was struck by a car, sustaining minor injuries.
A crowd of up to 100 people surrounded the vehicle, damaging it by breaking windows, kicking the car, and throwing objects, prompting the occupants to lock themselves inside for safety.
The child's mother attacked the car's 20-year-old passenger, kicking him and attempting to drag him out of the vehicle, leading to an investigation into her actions for suspected assault.
Police intervened to restore order, called emergency services for the injured child, and transported him to the hospital for treatment.
Authorities are actively investigating the accident, the crowd's aggressive actions, and the mother's behavior, with no further incidents reported since the intervention.
