Robbery in Nuremberg: 30-year-old fights against two perpetrators!
In recent days, attacks on passersby in Nuremberg have become more frequent, which is causing concern among residents. On Tuesday evening, August 12, 2025, a 30-year-old was the victim of an attempted robbery in the Glockenhof district. According to the latest reports from the Bavaria Police The attack happened around 6:45 p.m. when the victim was walking home after shopping at the nearby Penny supermarket on Galgenhofstrasse.
Immediately before the junction with Keplerstrasse he saw two strangers asking for fire. However, the 30-year-old rejected the request. In an unexpected moment, one of the perpetrators kicked him in the shin and tried to violently tear two gold chains from his neck. When he responded with resistance, the perpetrators let go of him and fled towards the main train station without any loot. Unfortunately, the victim discovered that the two had already been behind him at the checkout in the supermarket.
