Police Confirm Alleged Racist Attack in Herne Was Fabricated

Investigations reveal that the reported assault on a mother and her baby did not occur, with witnesses providing a different account of events.

  • A 28-year-old woman in Herne claimed she was attacked by a cyclist who made racist remarks, but police have determined the incident was fabricated.
  • State protection officers interviewed multiple witnesses at the park where the alleged attack occurred and found no evidence to support the claim.
  • Witnesses reported that the woman's dog pulled on a leash attached to the stroller, causing it to tip over and injure the baby, rather than an assault taking place.
  • The woman initially told police that the supposed attacker kicked her, causing her to fall and drop her baby, but investigators found this account to be false.
  • Authorities are continuing to investigate why the woman provided false information about the incident.
