Knife robbery in Augsburg: one suspect arrested
Police arrested a 20-year-old suspect after a street robbery in Augsburg's university district; his female companion remained at large. The two allegedly took cash from an 18-year-old man while holding a knife in front of him during a meeting on Universitätsstraße at about 12:45 p.m. on 29 September 2026. They were casual acquaintances, and the amount taken was initially unknown. Police fired a warning shot into the ground during the arrest. According to police, no one was injured in either the robbery or the arrest. A helicopter joined the search, and a cycle path on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße was temporarily closed. Criminal police are investigating both suspects over a property offence; the arrested man was due to appear before an investigating judge the next day.
