A 26-year-old man is currently in custody after being suspected of suspected the attempted predatory extortion. The public prosecutor's office in Stuttgart and the Esslingen criminal police department investigate him for an incident in a flower shop in Bachstrasse.

On Tuesday at 9:15 a.m., the suspect entered the business and asked for cash from the two employees, with a weapon. Fortunately, a 30-year-old witness noticed the situation from outside the shop and bravely intervened by overwhelming the robber. Together with other witnesses, he held the perpetrator until the police arrived and temporarily arrested him.

The judge at the Esslingen district court confirmed the arrest warrant and the accused was brought to a correctional hospital. This heroic act of the 30-year-old witness shows how the civil courage and fast action can help individuals to ensure the security in our community.
