Chaos at the weekend: Aggressive attacks and drug raids in Dresden
A turbulent weekend kept the federal police in Dresden busy. On June 28, 2025, there were several incidents that alarmed citizens in the city. The Bischofsplatz stop was the scene of a violent attack in which a 29-year-old man randomly attacked passers-by and ultimately tried to escape over the tracks and a bridge railing. When the federal police arrived, the attacker was arrested. The assault investigation is ongoing after witnesses reported the man both pushing and punching while fleeing. l-iz.de reports that this incident is part of a larger problem that is affecting the city.
The following night, on June 28th at 3:20 a.m., the police were called again to Dresden-Neustadt train station. Here, a 20-year-old woman injured herself with a razor blade and resisted when officers arrived. She, too, is now being held accountable for her actions and resistance to law enforcement officers.
Similar incidents at the main train station
A day earlier, on June 27th, an employee at the main train station reported a theft of headphones. The 49-year-old person who stole returned the stolen goods, but a closer inspection revealed that he had crystal meth with him. Here too, an investigation is being carried out into the illicit trade in narcotics. In another incident on June 28, there was a heated argument between two men, aged 62 and 44, which escalated during the train journey. The 44-year-old hit the older man on the head with a bicycle helmet. Here too, the federal police are active in the investigation. tag24.de points out that such violent confrontations on public transport are becoming more and more common.
Drug problem in the region
A look at the current drug problem in Germany underlines the explosiveness of these incidents. According to the German drug commissioner, substances such as crystal meth, cocaine and other intoxicants are particularly popular among adults aged 18 to 64. [datenportal.bundesdrogenrechner.de](https://datenportal.bundesdrogen Commissioner.de/) shows that drugs with increased potential for abuse in particular make up a large proportion, which makes the situation even more complicated.
Overall, it is clear that the combination of violence, drugs and social unrest in Dresden is taking on worrying characteristics. The federal police are faced with the challenge of responding effectively to these developments and ensuring security in the city.
