Federal police have opened a criminal probe into suspected assault on enforcement officers.

Overview

  • The incident occurred Thursday around 20:15 on the cross-platform at track 15 in Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof.
  • Police say the woman seized flyers from two people identified as Jehovah's Witnesses and threw them to the ground.
  • She ignored requests to stop, made an obscene gesture, and swung her bag, prompting officers to briefly handcuff her.
  • During resistance to police, the woman repeatedly fell to the ground and bit a 21-year-old federal policewoman in the knee.
  • The injured officer remained fit for duty, the suspect was released to go home, and investigators are examining several alleged offenses in addition to the assault charge.
