Eberbach is excited. On Friday, August 30, 2024, there was a physical argument at around 3 p.m. on the forecourt of the Eberbacher train station, which included several participants. What had happened? A 36-year-old man is said to have shown his five-year-old daughter a controversial behavior by holding her mouth for a short time, which was declared as a "educational measure". This Situation ensured an escalation and had the minds boiled up in the area.

an unknown, angry about the father's actions, confronted him with his behavior. What started as a verbal argument quickly ended in a physical argument. Eyewitnesses reported that the initially accused, the 36-year-old, was finally pressed by other people and attacked with kicks lying on the ground. The injuries he suffered are classified as easy, but the incident raises numerous questions.

search for witness

The police have taken note of the action and is now urgently looking for witnesses. The Mannheim police headquarters calls everyone who has observed the incident to report. In particular, people who were not part of the conflict and saw what happened from a neutral perspective are required. Any information could contribute to clarifying the incident and are of great importance for the investigation.

The police also ask that the criminal police notice signs on 0621/174-4444. The investigators hope to find out more details about the exact process and the people involved through the statements of witnesses.

The incident at the Eberbacher train station is not just an example of an unfortunately too frequent escalation of educational measures in public. It also shows how quickly, from external circumstances that may appear trivially, a violent discussion can develop. The fact that such an intimate situation that took place between a father and his daughter can cause such a reaction.
