North Rhine-Westphalia: Man is said to have sexually abused patients

Recklinghausen (dpa / lnw) - The police are looking for a man who disguised himself as a doctor in a Marl hospital and then allegedly passed on two patients. The police published a corresponding manhunt on Thursday. The crimes happened on different days in early August. In the early hours of the morning, the man is said to have gone to the clinic and pretended to be a doctor to the nursing staff. He wore a smock and a surgical mask. He went to the two victims' hospital rooms, and there, as the police put it, "sexual acts" took place.

One of his victims was 88 years old. When this woman screamed for help, the perpetrator ran away. The victims and witnesses described the dark-haired man as rather small (1.65 to 1.75 meters tall) and young (between 20 and 27 years old).
