Homeless man arrested after phone snatch and threats in Frankfurt
A 44-year-old homeless man was arrested in Frankfurt’s Bornheim district on Monday morning. Police accuse him of snatching a phone and threatening two people during the incident. The confrontation took place just after 10:20 a.m. on Sieringstraße.
