Young people in Crailsheim: pepper spray attack on the playground!

On Friday afternoon, a playground in Crailsheim became the scene of a frightening incident: three young people aged 15, 16 and 17 were attacked by a group of seven unknown people. The police reported what was initially a verbal argument that quickly escalated and ended in punches and kicks. The 17-year-old was particularly badly hit and was also injured with pepper spray. The attackers were able to escape undetected and left behind traumatized young people who had to be brought to safety under the watchful eye of their parents.

While the two younger boys were picked up directly by their parents, the older teenager had to be temporarily treated in the hospital before he was finally released into the care of his parents. The motivation behind this brutal attack remains unclear, a police spokesman said. However, it is noticeable that the use of pepper spray among young people has been increasing recently, prompting police to investigate further. Information can be submitted to the police as they rely on information from witnesses. For more details on this incident, readers can check out reporting from HZ.de or Augsburger Allgemeine see.
