Kassel-Niederzwehren:
A 37-year-old man from Kassel was attacked by an unknown assailant on Tuesday evening in Niederzwehren, receiving multiple blows to the face and sustaining injuries. The incident occurred at around 6:15 PM on the parking lot of a discount supermarket in Frankfurter Straße. The victim was reportedly consuming alcohol with two women at the time, who later told a patrol from the South-West police station. The unknown man initially joined them and engaged in conversation, but suddenly and without warning, he began striking the 37-year-old multiple times. The victim suffered a broken jaw and had to be treated in a hospital. The unknown assailant then fled in the direction of Töpfenhofweg. He is described as being approximately 35 to 40 years old, 1.75 meters tall, with a reddish-blonde full beard and sideburns, and very short hair. He is said to have spoken with an Eastern European accent and was wearing a black cap. Despite immediate efforts to apprehend him, he could not be found.
Further witnesses who can provide information to the investigators of the Regional Investigation Group of the Kassel Police are asked to contact them at Tel. 0561 - 9100.
