Xenophobic incident on the playground: child injured, perpetrator reported!
A shocking incident occurred on June 30, 2025, when a 40-year-old woman made insulting, xenophobic comments to a 35-year-old mother and her daughter in a playground in Munich-Neuhausen. Bavaria Police reports that the argument broke out around 7:00 p.m. The attacker violently dragged the child from a swing and spat on her, causing pain to the girl. Police Inspectorate 42 quickly intervened and spoke to those at risk.
The insults and bodily harm are part of a sad trend in Germany, as a recent study shows. According to Statista, politically motivated crimes with a right-wing extremist background increased between 2014 and 2024. Such incidents are not only visible in large cities, but also in everyday life, as the incident in Neuhausen clearly shows.
Police actions and investigations
The police have already filed a complaint against the 40-year-old for insult and bodily harm. Further investigations were transferred to Criminal Investigation Department 4. The police emphasize the importance of consistently prosecuting such attacks in order to prevent a climate of fear caused by xenophobic statements and violence. [City News](https://www.city-news.de/ Fremdenhostile-beleidigung-und-koerpertreib-auf-spielplatz-in-muenchen/207631/) highlights that this incident is not isolated, but is part of a worrying behavior that is unfortunately re-emerging in society.
Also on July 2, 2025, the Munich traffic police were confronted with several further incidents. A 24-year-old Audi driver lost control of his vehicle, drove into a traffic light and injured a pedestrian. The 22-year-old had to be taken to hospital. There was also a fatal incident when a 59-year-old woman was hit by an S-Bahn train at an unguarded level crossing.
Further police operations
There were also several other operations, including a fire in a company and an apartment fire in Fürstenried West, in which two people were slightly injured. This large number of incidents makes it clear that the challenges for the security forces in the region are great.
In light of these events, it is to be hoped that the authorities will continue to take consistent action against all forms of discrimination and violence and that citizens can feel safe. It is important to raise awareness of such incidents and promote tolerance and respect in society.
