Pirmasens: Motorists beat 17-year-olds when crossing the street

On Saturday, February 15, 2025, there was an unexpected incident in Pirmasens that excited the residents. Around 2:40 p.m. there were three young people, including a 17-year-old boy, on the way from Schäferstrasse to the pedestrian zone. A 23-year-old driver who came from the opposite direction suddenly stopped and hit the 17-year-old in the face with full force. The exact reasons for this attack have so far been unclear. The situation led to a slight injury to the adolescent affected, but was not classified as serious.

The Pirmasens police inspection started a call to witnesses. Witnesses who can provide information about the incident are asked to contact Pipirmasens@polizei.rlp.de on 0631 369-15199 or by email. It remains to be seen whether further information about the motive's motion will come to light.

reactions and call for message

The incident has triggered concern in the city, especially since violence among young people is a recurring topic. A central question remains what the 23-year-old attacker has caused this brutal action. It is important to the police to bring light into the dark.

In similar cases, it is often necessary to point out the need not to trivialize such incidents. The authorities point out that even slight physical attacks should be taken seriously. This is not just an isolated case, but refers to a bigger problem in the context of youth crime.

The data on the topic of youth violence show that such attacks are not a singular phenomenon. The population is therefore required to actively act against any form of violence and to report incidents such as those in Brückengasse. According to dji.de it is essential to draw attention to the reasons and the context of such acts.
