Overview
- An 11-year-old boy was reportedly assaulted by an unknown man at the Anna‑Essinger school complex on Wednesday, October 14, and he was left uninjured.
- Three weeks earlier, on September 28, a female pupil was also reportedly attacked near the campus sports facilities, making the October incident the second in recent weeks.
- The Kriminalpolizei Ulm opened a formal investigation, carried out forensic evidence collection at the site, and said the attacker remains unidentified as officers check for a connection between the two cases.
- Police announced they will keep at least one patrol permanently present at the Schulzentrum Kuhberg during school hours and the city’s municipal order service will provide evening support; a police spokesperson addressed worried parents in an online video.
- The shared campus and sports facilities mean many pupils are affected by the heightened security and ongoing probe, and investigators’ findings will determine whether charges follow and if further long-term safety measures are needed.
