Driver threatened with knife in Heilbronn

A 40-year-old man allegedly threatened a 43-year-old driver with a knife and racially abused him on Neckartalstraße in Heilbronn during the night leading into 3 November 2026. The driver had stopped there because of a breakdown at around 2:30 a.m. The suspect had allegedly driven towards him first; the 43-year-old moved out of the way and took refuge in his car. The man then allegedly followed the driver and struck his car at several locations around Theresienstraße and Bahnhofstraße and in a car park near the Federal Police. Officers temporarily detained the suspect near the main railway station, seized his driving licence and released him later that day. Police are seeking witnesses.
