Attempted robbery with folding knife near Mainz central station

A 26-year-old man was the victim of an attempted robbery near Mainz central station early on 24 May. He told police that two men approached while he was waiting at a bus stop on Schottstraße. After he declined to hand over cigarettes, one allegedly pulled a folding knife and held it up to him from around three metres away. The men fled without any property after the victim called emergency services. Police are still examining whether a group checked close to the scene was connected to the incident.
