However, passers-by were able to prevent the 23-year-old from endangering the two-year-old child inside, the police announced on Sunday.

According to initial findings, the man is said to have immediately pushed a four-year-old child to the ground when he showed up at the bus stop on the main street around 3 p.m. Both children remained uninjured.

After the attack on the stroller, he also tried to push her 24-year-old mother into the track bed. Waiting passengers intervened again, overpowered the attacker and held him until the emergency services arrived. The woman was then treated as an outpatient by paramedics at the scene.

This fell over, so that the 18-year-old was in a ditch about two meters deep, which was obviously behind it.

The man is then said to have even jumped after her to strangle her again. It was only when an eyewitness intervened that the attacker let go of his victim and ran away, it was said.

The young woman suffered several abrasions and hematomas during the attack and complained of pain in several parts of her body. She was treated on site as an outpatient by the emergency services.
