In recent times, there has been a concerning rise in violent crimes at train stations across Germany. Two notable incidents have taken place in Dresden and Magdeburg, which have been reported by Our Website SACHSEN and the Regional Report from Dresden.

Last Sunday, a tragic incident occurred in broad daylight in Magdeburg, where a woman was killed. The police are currently investigating the case. In a similar vein, on September 17, 2025, an unknown individual allegedly attempted to kill a 27-year-old woman in the area of the train station in Klingenberg-Colmnitz, Dresden. The Federal Police has reported an increase in such incidents, with the reasons for the surge seemingly diverse.

The rights to the Regional Report from Dresden are held by MITTELDEUTSCHER RUNDFUNK, and the audio of their report can be found on Our Website SACHSEN - Das Sachsenradio. Witnesses of these incidents are urged to come forward to help identify the alleged perpetrators. In Dresden, anyone with observations in the vicinity of the suspected crime scene or who can make statements about the unknown perpetrator can contact the Dresden Police Headquarters at the phone number (0351) 483 22 33.

The State Protection Department has taken over the investigation in Dresden, while the police are handling the Magdeburg incident. It is important to note that the victim in the Dresden incident was an activist for women's rights and politically persecuted individuals in Pakistan.

Unfortunately, another incident occurred in Leipzig, where a woman was seriously injured at a bus stop. An appeal for witnesses has been made in this case as well. There has also been a significant increase in crime at Leipzig's main station.
