Assault on cycle path in Birr: teenager resists unknown attacker
Shortly before 21:30 on Thursday evening, a 17-year-old Polish girl became the victim of a sexual assault on the cycle path between Birrfeldstrasse and the ABB underpass in Birr AG. According to Blick, the young woman was walking when a moped rider first came towards her.
A short time later, an unknown man attacked the 17-year-old from behind, pushed her to the ground and suddenly groped her under her clothing. The young woman resisted fiercely and caused the attacker to flee – this is how Aargau cantonal police described the incident in a press statement.
The search is on for a man aged between 20 and 30 years, 170 to 190 centimetres tall, with short blonde hair and no beard. At the time of the offence he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt; he is believed to have been travelling on a moped.
Aargau cantonal police have opened an investigation, and the public prosecutor's office has initiated criminal proceedings. Anyone with information about the incident or the person being sought is asked to contact the Decentralised Investigation Unit in Baden – by telephone on 056 200 11 11 or by email at [email protected].
