Elderly man attacks caregiver and police with walker in Germany
A 67-year-old man attacked his caregiver with a walker in Leutkirch, southern Germany, on December 16, 2025. The caregiver suffered minor injuries before police intervened, only to face further aggression from the man during their response. Earlier that day, the man had already drawn police attention after disappearing from his care home. When officers later arrived at the scene of the walker attack, he resisted violently. Reports state he tried to hit, kick, and even bite the responding officers. The investigation into the assault remains ongoing. The caregiver’s injuries were treated as minor, while the 67-year-old remains under medical supervision. Legal proceedings will determine the next steps in the case.
