Unknown man harasses girl: police are searching feverishly
The police have been feverishly searching for a girl in Dresden since Monday morning. A passer-by had observed the child being harassed by a stranger and made an emergency call, as the police announced on Monday. The stranger had initially held the child, but she was able to break free and run away.
There is currently no trace of either the girl or the man. The police have deployed tracking dogs and requested a helicopter. The schools in the area are also being checked. There are currently no reports of the child missing, the police added.
A twelve-year-old girl had already been harassed by a stranger last week. The stranger had pulled the girl into a wooded area. When the twelve-year-old girl called loudly for help, an older woman rushed to her aid. The man let go of the girl and fled. The police are investigating whether the two cases are connected.
The police are urging parents to keep their children safe, given the recent emergencies involving strangers. The investigation into the past week's incident of a stranger harassing a child in a wooded area is ongoing, with potential links to the current case under scrutiny.
