27-year-old attacked
As reported, the duo allegedly attacked a 27-year-old woman in Bad Sauerbrunn last Friday. The woman had just been in her car when one of the perpetrators came to the open driver's door and threatened her with a knife. He grabbed her by the head and hit it against the steering wheel.

Meanwhile, an accomplice opened the car door on the passenger side and stole the handbag that had been left there. The duo then fled the scene. The bag contained a sum of money amounting to around 13,000 euros. The exact background is still under investigation.
