Brutal attack on women's cemetery in Leipzig – police ask for witnesses!
On Tuesday evening, July 17, 2025, a brutal attack occurred at the cemetery in Kleinzschocher, Leipzig. An unknown man attacked a 57-year-old woman who was visiting the cemetery between 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. The perpetrator first spoke to the woman and then knocked her to the ground while he tried to sexually harass her. However, the victim defended herself, which caused the attacker to flee. The woman had to be taken to hospital because she sustained injuries. The police have opened an investigation into a sexual offense and are urgently appealing for information from the public. Blick reports.
