On Friday, 13 August, at around 00:30, a young female pedestrian was assaulted at the street Dortmunder Straße in Witten.
According to her own statements, the woman from Witten was on her way to a petrol station. Near the gravel car park, the woman encountered a group of four to five males.
The young men grabbed the Witten woman by the arms, pushed her into the car park and pulled at her clothes.
When a truck drove into the car park, the group let go of the victim and fled with the words “Yallah, yallah” along the footpath in the direction of the “Wittener WerkStadt”.
A short time later, the woman, who did not suffer any physical injuries, reported to the police.
Two of the men dressed in dark clothes wore beards, one of them had an upper lip and thin chin beard. One of the persons was dressed in a sporty cap, another is said to have been wearing dark shoes with white stripes running parallel to the sole.
