A minor shoplifting incident in Jena’s city center escalated on Tuesday evening, leading to multiple criminal charges and police custody for a 42-year-old man who consumed a pastry without paying and engaged in a physical altercation.
A violent altercation following an event in Kromsdorf left an 18-year-old with facial injuries. Two suspects, aged 17 and 18, allegedly attacked the victim with a headbutt and a punch before fleeing the scene. While the attackers escaped before police arrived, their identities have since been confirmed. Authorities are now investigating a case of dangerous bodily harm committed jointly.
