Arrest after attack on Oktoberfest visitor in Munich!
A worrying incident occurred on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the Oktoberfest in Munich. A 25-year-old woman who was in the festival tent with friends was sexually harassed by an unknown man. The man reached under the woman's skirt from behind and performed unwanted sexual acts there. After a short time he let go of her and tried to escape. The woman and her friends responded quickly by informing security, who were able to detain the suspect until police arrived.
It turned out that the 41-year-old perpetrator was from Munich. He was immediately arrested and will be brought before the investigating judge, who will decide on the question of detention. Fortunately, the 25-year-old was not injured as a result of the crime. The investigation is now being continued by the Commissioner for Sexual Offenses (Commissioner 15).
