Man allegedly threatened children and adults with knife in Rhein-Erft district

A 24-year-old man is alleged to have threatened several children and two adults in Pulheim-Dansweiler and Frechen-Königsdorf on the evening of 11 July. A father filed a report after his son and two friends were allegedly threatened with a knife while playing in Dansweiler at about 7 p.m. Shortly afterwards, another minor was reported by his father to have been threatened on Zehnthofstraße. Two adults later called police from Königsforst and also reported threats by a man matching the earlier description. Officers found and arrested the suspect in Villeforst; he is now in pre-trial detention because he was wanted on a warrant.
