Neighbour saves woman from sexual assault in Laim
A 43-year-old woman became the victim of a sexual assault in Munich-Laim during the night into Saturday. According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, an unknown man followed her at around 3.20 a.m. on Schäufeleinstraße on her way home.
As the woman was attempting to unlock the front door of her residential building, the perpetrator attacked her from behind, grabbed her in the intimate area and pressed her against the door. The woman defended herself, fell to the ground in the process and called loudly for help.
A neighbour heard the calls for help and spoke to the man loudly. The perpetrator then released his victim and fled on foot. The police initiated an immediate manhunt with more than ten patrols – without success.
The investigation is ongoing. The police are now seeking further witnesses who observed anything on Schäufeleinstraße on the night of the attack.
