Woman is said to have suddenly attacked another baby in Kassel and choked her with both hands
The suspected perpetrator, a 33-year-old resident of the house, was arrested on site by patrols.
According to the rescue workers' initial assessment, the screaming baby suffered no visible injuries, but was taken to hospital as a precaution and for further observation.
As the girl's parents told the police, they had wanted to leave the house late in the evening after visiting there.
In the stairwell, the unknown woman suddenly approached from behind and suddenly attacked the child who was lying in a baby seat.
She choked the infant with both hands.
Father was able to tear the attacker away from his daughter
According to his own statements, the father managed to force the attacker away from his daughter and place himself between the baby seat and the woman.
She is said to have then thrown a glass bottle in the direction of the infant, but it was deflected by the father's arm and ultimately hit the wall and broke.

The arrested 33-year-old woman appeared confused to the police.
She was taken into police custody.
Because there were indications that she might be under the influence of drugs, a doctor took a blood sample from her.
The motive for the attack is still unclear, but it cannot currently be ruled out that the 33-year-old's mental state played a role in the crime.
The Kassel public prosecutor's office has therefore ordered a preliminary psychiatric assessment for the suspected woman.
