Success for the Bremen police! On Sunday evening, a police patrol was able to arrest several children and youths who were allegedly involved in the brutal attack on a trans woman.
At around 6.30 p.m., first a 12-year-old and later nine other children and youths between the ages of 12 and 14 were caught.
Four of them are suspected to have been involved in the disgusting attack on a trans woman in a tram on September 3.
About a week ago, the woman was first insulted by a group of about 15 people in a tram and then brutally beaten. One of the blows hit the woman so hard in the face that she had to be taken to hospital with injuries.
The police analysed the video footage from the tram and identified four children aged 12 and 13. The Bremen officers gave the brutal thugs a chance to save face and turn themselves in before a public search might have to be carried out and the pictures of them would be visible everywhere.
The youths did not take the chance, but now a patrol was able to spot some suspects during an operation and take them to the police station.
The parents were informed. Further investigations into the perpetrators are ongoing.
A kiosk saleswoman knows “the group of ten to 15 youths, about 14 years old, who speak Kurdish and Arabic”. She had already noticed the gang several times, the witness told the newspaper BILD. “Most recently, they stopped the tram just like that. A man threw them out, but they came back, insulted and threatened him. They feel strong when they are in a group. If they are not stopped, they will continue.”
