Young people escalate disputes in the shopping center: pepper spray alarm!
On Friday evening, March 7, 2025, there was a violent discussion between several young people in a shopping center on Gutenbergstrasse in Weiterstadt. According to information from news.de , the incident occurred around 5:45 p.m. in the entrance area of a perfumery. A 12-year-old was kicked as part of the dispute, while an unknown youthful pepper spray sprayed in the air.
The affected young people rejected a emergency service treatment. However, the 51-year-old employee of perfumery and young people suffered easier injuries from the irritant gas. The exact reason for the argument is still unclear and is examined by the authorities. The report on the incident was published by the South Hesse police headquarters.
youth violence in several cities
After the first reports, the suspects of the woman suddenly sprayed pepper spray in the face as she was traveling with a friend. After the incident, the perpetrators fled, but thanks to the quick reaction of two witnesses who informed the emergency call and followed them, were temporarily arrested by the police at Aidenbachstrasse underground station. After determining their personal details and interrogation, the young people were released, but both are already known to the police and each have over ten procedures, including bodily harm and theft, on the neck.
background to juvenile crime
The frequent relapse to crime can be attributed to complex problems. This includes social disadvantage, experiences of violence or problems at school. In addition, the influence of a Deviane Freundeskreis and substance abuse can also lead to increased crime in young people. The Ministry has already developed various strategies to counteract youth crime. These include the cooperation between schools, police and youth welfare.
The latest events in Weiterstadt and Munich show that the topics of youth violence and crime prevention are still of great importance. In view of the repeated incidents, a comprehensive and effective strategy for prevention is essential to ensure the safety of young people and to reduce violence in society.
