(hd) On Thursday (28.08.2025), a 30-year-old female cyclist passed the junction of Bahnhofstraße and Kurfürstenstraße in Herford at 3:00 pm. A man was sitting on a wall there who had lowered his pants and was manipulating his penis. It is said to have been an older man with gray hair. He was wearing a blue sweater at the time of the crime. The cyclist informed the police. Near the scene of the crime, the officers were able to find a person who matched the description given. Criminal proceedings were initiated. The criminal investigation department has taken over the investigation. As the crime scene is a highly frequented footpath and cycle path that connects the city center area with the train station, it seems likely that other people became aware of the man. Possible victims or witnesses are therefore asked to contact the Herford police on 05221 / 888-0.
