Police Release Station Assault Photos Near Munich as Dresden Teen Suspect Identified

Authorities use surveillance footage plus formal approvals to drive progress in both station assault cases.

Overview

  • Federal police launched a court‑approved public appeal on September 23 to identify the man suspected of a violent April 4 attack at Petershausen S‑Bahn station.
  • Prosecutors in Munich II requested the release of surveillance images, which are now published online with contact channels for tips from the public.
  • In the April incident, a 38‑year‑old Senegalese man was kicked in the back without prior contact, fell, and suffered injuries to both knees and his right wrist as the assailant fled.
  • Shortly after midnight on September 24 in Dresden, officers found a 30‑year‑old bleeding at the main station, provided first aid, and sent him to a hospital after he reported being punched and kicked by a youth.
  • Police identified the Dresden suspect as a 16‑year‑old Afghan already known to authorities, located him at his home, informed him in his mother’s presence, and opened an investigation for dangerous bodily harm.
