Teenager threatened with knife in alleged attempted extortion
A 19-year-old man is alleged to have attempted to rob a teenager in Karlsruhe on Monday afternoon. Investigators said he first approached the teenager and a companion near the Schlossgarten and led them to a public toilet at the Marktplatz.
There, he is alleged to have displayed a folding knife and demanded personal belongings from the teenager. The companion made an emergency call. When the suspect noticed this, he fled without taking anything. Police officers provisionally arrested him shortly afterwards near an underground station at the Marktplatz. A judge ordered his remand in custody on suspicion of attempted aggravated robbery and extortion.
