A 16-year-old was attacked in Achern while on the way to the station on 11 November 2026, police said. The teenager fought back and called for help. Police say the incident took place at around 6pm on a connecting path between Achern station and the industrial area. After the victim raised the alarm, the suspect allegedly left her alone. A couple who noticed the situation tried to help. During the intervention, the suspect allegedly shoved the man off his bicycle, causing him to fall. Officers launched a search for the suspect and arrested a 24-year-old man about an hour later in the area of Achern station. The criminal investigation took over the case. Investigators are also checking whether the detained man was involved in another physical altercation at the station area that occurred around 4pm. That earlier incident is said to have affected two victims who are still unknown, and it is currently unclear whether the suspect was connected. Police are asking two male passengers who were near the covered bicycle stands at the station around 6pm to come forward. They are also appealing for the two unknown victims from the 4pm incident to contact the criminal duty service at 0781 21-2820.
