From August 17 to September 4, the annual folk festival Weindorf will take place on the market square in front of the city hall of the state capital Stuttgart and attract numerous visitors. After two years of forced break due to the coronavirus, people are now celebrating again and drinking plenty of wine. On Saturday morning ( August 20), however, there was almost a sexual assault there if an attentive employee had not intervened.
According to the police in Stuttgart, a 21-year-old employee of the Stuttgart Weindorf noticed noises behind a container on the market square at around 01.15 am. When he checked, he discovered three young men bending over a 28-year-old woman lying on the ground and tampering with her trousers.
The employee approached the three men, whereupon they fled in the direction of Schlossplatz. Thanks to his courageous intervention, the 21-year-old was able to prevent worse. He then called the police, who couldn’t detect the perpetrators after an immediate manhunt. The police are now asking for witnesses.
The three men who fled are between 25 and 30 years old, according to the police statement. They are 170 to 175 centimetres tall and have a dark complexion. One of the perpetrators was dressed in a black jumper, the second in a yellow T-shirt and light blue jeans. The third was dressed in black shorts and a black T-shirt.
