Vandal attacks parish staff when caught
On June 27, a 26-year-old man vandalised the floor of a church in Traunreut with a felt-tip pen and punched a church representative in the face when confronted. The suspect fled the scene but was later temporarily arrested by local police
According to the authorities, the man had been scribbling on the church floor when a person responsible for the site attempted to intervene. In response, the perpetrator struck the man in the face with his fist and fled. Thanks to a quick-thinking reaction, the victim was able to take a photo of the attacker, which led to the suspect’s identification and temporary arrest by officers from the Traunreut police station.
