A 52-year-old woman attacked an elderly couple at Cologne Central Station over the weekend.

The reason: the woman wanted to sit on a bench in the shade.

Cologne – Especially on summer days, the shaded areas at Cologne Central Station are very popular.

But on Saturday (July 30) a situation escalated when a woman brutally attacked an elderly couple because of a shady spot on a bench.

Actually, a 90-year-old man and his 81-year-old wife only wanted to sit on a bench at the back entrance of the main train station in Cologne, reports 24RHEIN.

This bench belonged to the outdoor area of ​​a bakery on Breslauer Platz and was in the shade.

A 52-year-old woman from Monheim (Mettmann district) had apparently also identified this shady spot as her destination of choice.

When the 90-year-old wanted to sit down, the woman tried to prevent this, according to the federal police, "by pushing and hitting".

Witnesses later reported that the woman from Monheim had knocked the glasses off the elderly man's nose with full force.

"Losing his balance, the pensioner fell against the glass pane and then on the ground," said the federal police.

When the 81-year-old wife wanted to help, she too was pushed to the ground by the woman from Monheim.

The man and his wife suffered minor injuries.

The 52-year-old attacker could also be caught.

She is now awaiting a charge of assault.
