The whole thing happened on the street in front of the stone gate around 10:50 a.m. Here, too, after a witness came to help, the perpetrator fled over the street in the ring to Lübecker Strasse. Investigators later found the perpetrator's clothing and examined them for traces. The police had published videos for this attack that show the perpetrator during the crime and on the run.
