Teenager attacked with pepper spray in Mühlheim am Main robbery

A 15-year-old boy was attacked and injured in Mühlheim am Main on Wednesday evening. The incident involved three individuals, with one suspect using a pepper spray gun during a physical confrontation. Police are now investigating the assault and searching for those responsible. The trouble began when an emergency call reported a shooting and requested medical help. The victim, a 15-year-old, had been sprayed in the face with a pepper gun before fleeing to a nearby youth centre. There, he rinsed his eyes but left behind his sports bag.

When the boy returned to the scene, the suspects took his bag. They then escaped on an uninsured moped, driven by a 20-year-old without a licence. The victim received brief medical treatment for his injuries, while his sports bag was later found and returned to him. One of the suspects, the 20-year-old, later turned himself in at a police station. Officers seized a blank-firing gun from his home. Authorities are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

The victim's injuries were treated, and his belongings were recovered. Police continue to investigate the incident and have urged the public to assist with any relevant details. The case remains under active review.
