Petrol station employee threatened with knife in Oberursel

At a petrol station on Hans-Mess-Straße in Oberursel, a young man drew a knife in front of an employee on the night leading into 17 October 2026. The man had wanted to buy something at the night-service window at around 2 a.m.; according to initial findings, the employee refused the sale because of his rude behaviour. When the employee left the building to speak to him, the man briefly held the drawn knife in front of himself and then ran away. He was alone during the incident. Criminal investigators are investigating a threat and seeking information.
