Munich (dpa / lby) - A 23-year-old was caught stealing in a shop in Munich Central Station on Sunday and then attacked the shop detective. The 42-year-old had previously asked the woman known to the police to his office and called the emergency number there, the federal police said on Monday. The 23-year-old then wiped the stolen goods from the desk onto the floor. She then pushed the detective and kicked his thigh. The 42-year-old overpowered the woman, injuring her face, and handed her over to officers.

Because the woman showed signs of alcohol and drugs, she was taken to a hospital under police escort. She was due to be brought before an investigating judge on Monday.
