A 30-year-old Afghan suspect is now on trial for hurling three paving stones at ambulance workers in Frankfurt, one of which narrowly missed paramedic Michael Werner’s head while he was trying to treat an ill woman. The case highlights the fact that even ambulance drivers are not safe in Germany, with rescue workers facing cowardly attacks for virtually no reason at all.
The incident dates back to August 2024 and involved six rescue workers arriving at the Bahnhofsviertel district to treat a woman who had fainted.
Then, for “no discernible reason,” the Afghan suspect began throwing paving stones weighing 400 grams.
Wehner saw the hooded suspect out of the corner of his eye and screamed for him to stop. However, that did not end the situation.
The Afghan then allegedly threw another stone directly at Werner, which narrowly missed his head, instead “hitting and damaging the ambulance at the witness’s head height,” according to the public prosecutor’s office.
Werner said: “If I had been hit in the head, my colleagues or I would have been seriously injured at the very least.” He said the stones could have caused traumatic brain injury and, in the worst-case scenario, even proven fatal.
Senior Public Prosecutor Dominik Mies told Bild newspaper: “Anyone who attacks rescue workers must face the full force of the law.”
“An attack on rescue workers while they are saving lives is just about the most despicable thing imaginable. Therefore, we are taking consistent action against such suspects.”
The Afghan suspect now faces between 8 and 10 years in prison.
As Remix News reported just last month, violent crime is soaring, hitting a record high in 2024. Foreigners are responsible for nearly 50 percent of such crimes, and the German political class is having trouble covering up just how bad the situation has become.

In the same crime statistics, it also shows that violence against police officers increased as well. However, the trends regarding attacks against police, as well as firefighters and ambulance workers, have already been rising for years. According to the data, 54 police officers are injured every single day due to violent acts.
Even public transport workers are feeling the pressure, with many facing assaults, verbal harassment, and even knife attacks.
