German police investigate series of incidents from train harassment to armed shooting

Police in Germany are handling a range of incidents across several states. In Bavaria, federal police are reviewing video footage after a 28‑year‑old woman reported sexual harassment on a regional train between Pfaffenhofen and Munich. In Thuringia, a perceived armed threat at a Weimar beverage store was later identified as an air‑soft gun used for a video shoot, prompting a large police response. In Kitzingen, a man on a motor scooter allegedly assaulted two young girls, showing them pornographic material; investigators are seeking witnesses. In Hesse, burglars broke into a restaurant in Erbach, stealing cash from vending machines. In Baden‑Württemberg, an exhibitionist harassed two teenage girls at Heidelberg’s Kirchheim station; police have appealed for tips. Arnsberg authorities are investigating the theft of several underground power cables from a construction site. Würzburg police launched a manhunt after a suspect fired multiple shots from a handgun in a residential street, though no one was injured. In Heidelberg, prosecutors opened a case against a regional government employee accused of exploiting his position to demand sexual acts from asylum‑seeking women in exchange for preventing deportation. Each case remains under active investigation.
