Unknown man speaks to girls in Dresden – police are asking for information!

A disturbing incident occurred today in Dresden-Südvorstadt. An unknown man approached a nine-year-old girl, asked her to come with him and tried to hold the child. This happened on Bernhardstrasse on the corner of Bergstrasse, like Saechsische.de reported. Luckily, a passer-by was there who noticed the incident and chased the perpetrator. However, this brave witness was unable to prevent the man from fleeing before the police arrived. What's even more worrying is that the witness also disappeared before police arrived.

Such incidents not only raise questions about the safety of our children, but also reflect the need to report alarming situations. The police now offer the option of reporting simple crimes online, as shown on onlinewache.polizei.de can be found. This platform allows citizens to report crimes such as fraud, theft or damage to property from the comfort of their own home. This contributes to community safety and facilitates cooperation between citizens and police.
