On Friday evening, a group of about ten young men boarded the bus of line 68 at the bus stop “Hochheimer Markt”. During the journey to Kastel, the young men mobbed several passengers. At the same time, a woman from Ginsheim-Gustavsburg was sexually harassed by one of the men.
The offender touched the 48-year-old woman several times in an indecent manner. When the group left the bus at the bus stop “Bahnhof Kastel” at about 9.25 p.m., it seemed as if they had stopped. However, one of the men suddenly turned around and went back to the bus. Through the still open door, the perpetrator sprayed pepper spray into the passenger compartment and then fled with the rest of the group.
Four passengers suffered minor respiratory irritations. They were treated by the emergency services.
