Kassel – A 39-year-old man was raped on Monday night (October 3rd) in the Nordstadtpark in Kassel.

The investigations have so far brought no clues to the perpetrator, which is why the police are now asking for information from the population.

According to police spokeswoman Ulrike Schaake, the crime took place in Nordstadtpark, near the pedestrian bridge to Liebigstrasse, between 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.

There, the later perpetrator is said to have first spoken to the 39-year-old, who was wearing a dress, then pressed him against a wall and kissed him.
