Shock at the train station: 62-year-old attacks mother and child!

Bahnhof Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe, Kassel, Deutschland - on June 17, 2025, around 6:15 p.m., a 30-year-old mother with her child at the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe train station was the victim of a frightening attack by a 62-year-old woman. According to [bild.de] (https://www.bild.de/regional/hessen/kassel-mutter-und-kind-62-jaehriger-am-Bahn-Bahn, 6859725c2004ffbf027) from today, the attacker was apparently without residence and initially insulted the mother before she became manly.

In an apparently groundless outbreak, the 62-year-old kicked the mother against his thigh and also tried to overturn the stroller. Fortunately, the mother managed to prevent the stroller from falling over. Both remained unharmed regardless of the heated situation.

reaction of the authorities

The alarming events were recognized by DB security employees who discovered the crying mother on platform 2. They immediately informed the federal police, which shortly afterwards arrested the attacker. The arrest took place the same evening. The 62-year-old was released at around 8:15 p.m. after all police measures were completed, while the investigation against them was taken up by the Federal Police Inspectorate in Kassel.

The authorities call for eyewitnesses in particular to report this incident. Information can be submitted on 0561-81616 0 or via the website bundespolizei.de. Press spokesman Ibrahim Aras is available for direct inquiries.

A look at violence against women

Such incidents are unfortunately not an isolated case. A dark field study by the Federal Criminal Police Office shows that 6% of the women surveyed experienced criminal sexual offenses last year. Shocking 1.3% reported assault. These figures illustrate the persistent problem of violence against women, which is still strongly present in society. In fact, 91% of the physical injuries are committed by men, which underlines the need for an intensive examination of this topic.

In Kassel, the question remains what is going wrong in society if such attacks can take place on innocent people. It is important to stay vigilant and keep your eyes and ears open so that we can all contribute to a safer and more respectful community.
