Shock at the Laim S-Bahn stop: Peruvians brutally attacked!

On the night of October 25, 2025, a worrying incident occurred at the Laim S-Bahn stop in Munich. A 23-year-old Peruvian was attacked and injured there by a group of unknown men. The attack occurred around 2:10 a.m. when the young man and a 22-year-old German got into a verbal argument with about seven people.

The background to this dispute is currently unclear. After the collision, the attackers became violent and forced the two men onto an S-Bahn. Documented reports from Bild describe that they insulted and threatened the injured parties.

Injuries and escape of the perpetrators

The Peruvian suffered injuries to his mouth and a laceration to his eyebrow, while his companion fortunately remained uninjured. The attackers were able to flee in an unknown direction and despite an immediate search by the police, they remained unidentified. The Munich Federal Police Inspectorate has started the investigation, which focuses on dangerous bodily harm, threats and insults. According to Presseportal, witnesses who observed anything unusual between 2:10 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. are asked to call 089 / 515550 - 0.

This incident joins worrying statistics: According to surveys by the Federal Criminal Police Office, there was a steady increase in police-recorded cases of bodily harm in Germany between 2014 and 2024, which further brings the general security situation in urban areas into focus. Particularly in large cities like Munich, such violent clashes are a serious issue that calls on the authorities. Further information on the numbers can be found in the Statista study.

Current events make it clear that it is socially necessary to work towards an improved security situation and to increasingly counteract violent conflicts. Given the elusive perpetrators, it remains to be seen whether the police will find new leads that will lead to the capture of the attackers.
