Beer glass attack at the train station: 66-year-old seriously injured!

On Sunday afternoon, June 23, 2025, an incident occurred at around 1:30 p.m. at Oberboihingen train station that attracted the attention of the federal police. A 66-year-old man got into an argument with an unknown perpetrator who hit him in the head with a beer glass. The incident took place on platform 2 and resulted in minor injuries to the injured party.

After the attack, both the 66-year-old and the unknown attacker boarded a train towards Nürtingen. However, the injured party left the train at the bus station, where he was approached by a state police patrol. They immediately informed the emergency services, who treated the injured on site. He was then taken to hospital to receive further medical attention.

Investigations are ongoing

The federal police have started an investigation into the serious bodily harm. The authorities are particularly interested in witnesses who can provide information about the crime or the perpetrator. Witnesses are asked to call 0711/870350.

This incident is another example of the challenges in public spaces. Police emphasize the importance of working with the public to solve such crimes. The background to the dispute between the 66-year-old and the unknown person is still unclear and will be clarified as part of the investigation.

The severity of the attack raises questions about the extent to which such incidents on public transport are increasing. The security situation is being closely monitored by the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of travelers.
