Robbery in Bochum: witnesses urgently wanted! Help now!

Bochum recently experienced a harrowing episode when a 36-year-old man fell victim to a robbery in the city center on Wednesday evening, October 9th. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. at the subway stop at Bochum Central Station, where the man was suddenly attacked by an unknown person.

The attacker was at the bus stop when he noticed the perpetrator taking a bottle out of a trash can. The attacker suddenly approached the man from Bochum and hit him in the face with full force, intending to steal his cell phone. The attack was not only unexpected, but also characterized by physical violence, which resulted in the victim being slightly injured.

A quick reaction from passers-by

In addition to the fortunate circumstance that other passers-by were present, the victim was immediately supported. This help enabled the 36-year-old to quickly get to safety and escape the attacker. The witnesses who intervened to protect the man could have crucial information to identify the perpetrator.

The police have taken over the investigation and the Criminal Investigation Department 31 is asking anyone who has observed anything to call 0234 909-8105 or the criminal investigation station on 0234 909-4441. It is particularly important that passers-by who came to the victim's aid contact the investigators directly. They could provide further details about the incident that could be crucial to solving the robbery.

The description of the perpetrator is as follows: The man has a “normal” stature, has black hair and a beard and apparently appears “homeless”. These features could help identify the attacker and assist police in their search.

This incident highlights the importance of citizens' vigilance and willingness to help, especially in urban areas where such violent attacks can occur. Every tip can be crucial to increasing security in Bochum's city center and possibly preventing future crimes.
