It was only supposed to be a short day release. But the Syrian (45) did not return to the clinic in Riedstadt (Hesse) on the 7th of February. He simply ran away.
His escape ended today ( February 14) in Leonberg-Eltingen after he attacked a 7-year-old girl with a pair of scissors.
The police describe the attack as follows: “According to the current police investigation, a dangerous assault was committed in a supermarket (photo) in Römerstraße in Eltingen on Tuesday evening ( February 13) by a prisoner who had escaped from a psychiatric ward.”
And further: “The 45-year-old man is said to have been in the entrance area of the supermarket and attacked a seven-year-old girl there shortly before 9.30 pm with so-called rescue cutters.”
The girl’s two courageous companions (15, 18) and two other brave witnesses (18), who were also in the store, brought the scissor-wielding man to the ground. Fortunately, the seven-year-old was only slightly injured and received outpatient treatment from the ambulance service.
Together with the security service, the perpetrator was detained until the police arrived. The Syrian was subsequently arrested without resistance and was taken to a psychiatric clinic in Wiesloch.
He has since been returned to Riedstadt.
