Unknown people molest two girls at Görlitz station - police are looking for witnesses!
On May 16, 2025, a worrying incident occurred at Görlitz station, which alerts the local population. Two 13-year-old girls were bothered by an unknown man, which led to great concern and a call for help by the federal police. According to bild.de the incident was around 6:10 p.m. when the girls were waiting for their train connection.
The perpetrator, who was about 40 to 45 years old and possibly older, is around 160 cm tall and has a strikingly red facial color. It is described as small and compressed, but not overweight, but rather broad. His bald head or very briefly shaved hair and the fact that he did not wear glasses or visible tattoos fit into the description. His clothes consisted of a dark blue training jacket with zipper and dark trousers as well as fabric or sports shoes, reports presseportal.de.
The incident in detail
The shocking events took their course when the unknown person grabbed the girls on their neck and shoulders and expressed in a low voice: "But you are two pretty girls". As a result, one of the two girls was held on their arms, which initially made them unable to escape. Fortunately, the girls reacted quickly and started crying, which ultimately helped them to get rid of and escape from the perpetrator. This fled in an unknown direction, according to the federal police.
In this case, the investigators rely on the help of the population. Anyone who has made observations at the Görlitz train station in question or can give information about the perpetrator is asked to contact the Federal Police Inspection Ludwigsdorf at 03581-3626-0 or the free hotline 0800-6888,000.

Such incidents are part of a complex problem that influences crime development in Germany. The current statistics show both declines and increases in various offenses. According to statista.com, in 2024 there was a decline in crime by 1.7 % to around 5.84 million cases due to fewer cannabis delics after partialization. At the same time, however, there is an increase in crimes that affect people's feeling of security. The offenses against personal freedom, which also include sexual harassment, are particularly relevant here.
The clarification rate is 58 %, which is a slight decline compared to the previous year. However, the crime statistics only record the known and edited crimes, which means that a significant part remains in the dark field. All the more important is civil society efforts to draw attention to incidents such as those at the Görlitz train station and to prevent such acts from happening again in the future.
