Aggressor assaults female youth outside domestic dwelling

In the early hours of Sunday morning, a shocking incident unfolded in Düsseldorf's Charlottenstraße. A young woman, a trained fighter from the city, was the victim of an unwarranted attack.

The woman had planned to pick something up from her mother's store before the attack. As she was making her way there around 5:55 AM, an unidentified assailant approached her. The attacker, described as a 20-23-year-old man, approximately 176 cm tall, slim, with short black hair, no beard, and a southeastern European appearance, grabbed the woman inappropriately and attempted to kiss her.

The woman, however, showed remarkable courage. She pushed the attacker away and fought back with slaps and punches. The struggle was intense, and the attacker struck the woman in the face during the altercation. Despite this, the woman managed to fend off her attacker, who then retreated.

The woman's phone fell to the ground during the attack. Her boyfriend, who she had been constantly on the phone with before the incident, was following the attack in real-time and alerted the police simultaneously. Witnesses who observed something suspicious in the area around 6 AM are asked to contact the Düsseldorf Police's Criminal Commissioner 12 at the number 0211 8700.

The search results do not provide information about the attacker who assaulted the woman and retreated due to her self-defence. The attacker was wearing no specific clothing mentioned in the description. It is unclear if the attacker suffered any injuries as a result of the struggle.

The young woman had celebrated with friends in the old town before the incident. She is currently recovering from her injuries. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of personal safety, especially during late-night hours.

Authorities urge anyone with information regarding the identity of the attacker to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. In the meantime, the community remains on high alert, hoping for a swift resolution to this disturbing incident.
