Nuremberg city center: Unknown attack man in threes
On the night of Sunday, September 25th, a 39-year-old man was out and about in the center of the Franconian metropolis.
At around 1:45 a.m., he became aware of a previously unknown young woman at the Kornmarkt.
The 39-year-old assumed she needed help and therefore approached the woman and spoke to her.
At the same moment, the helpful passer-by was approached by three men who interfered in the situation.
They instructed him to leave the woman alone.
The previously unknown perpetrators then hit the 39-year-old with their fists.
