Unknown vandale damaged car in Aalen - witnesses wanted!

Burgstallstraße, 73431 Aalen, Deutschland - On Thursday, June 5, 2025, there was an incident at around 10 p.m. in Burgstallstrasse in Aalen that not only excited the minds of those present, but also called the police. An unknown man who rose from a dark combination caused considerable property damage to a Mercedes. This incident was observed by a 60-year-old Mercedes driver, who was just about to change from a roundabout towards a car workshop.

The Mercedes driver reported that he was hindered by the stranger when changing lanes. The driver reacted to the impairment with a flash of light, which led to a violent reaction of the man. After this braking abruptly, he got out of his vehicle and hit the windshield of the Mercedes with his fist. The attack ended with the fact that the perpetrator teared off the outer mirror of the vehicle before returning and escaping into his station wagon.
