Dresden shock: man hits saleswoman while stealing food!
What's going on in Dresden? On Thursday, September 4, 2025, a dangerous incident was brewing in a supermarket on Räcknitzhöhe. A 65-year-old man tried to steal groceries, but when a saleswoman tried to stop him, he hit her. The incident shows once again how important moral courage and quick reactions are.
The saleswoman was brave enough to confront the thief, but it turned out to be a risky decision. The perpetrator, who had brazenly put the stolen goods in his pockets, defended himself not only verbally but also physically. A witness who was prepared to intervene was spat on by the perpetrator, which further escalated the tense situation. The man then fled and took the train.
Arrest by police
However, the police investigation was quickly successful. Thanks to a targeted operation, officers were able to arrest the suspected man at Wasaplatz. During the arrest, the 65-year-old was again aggressive, which didn't make the situation any easier for the police.
