A 30-year-old Afghan suspect is now on trial for hurling three paving stones at ambulance workers in Frankfurt, one of which narrowly missed paramedic Michael Werner’s head while he was trying to treat an ill woman.
The case highlights the fact that even ambulance drivers are not safe in Germany, with rescue workers facing cowardly attacks for virtually no reason at all.
The incident dates back to August 2024 and involved six rescue workers arriving at the Bahnhofsviertel district to treat a woman who had fainted.
Then, for “no discernible reason,” the Afghan suspect began throwing paving stones weighing 400 grams.
Wehner saw the hooded suspect out of the corner of his eye and screamed for him to stop. However, that did not end the situation.
