Mother Fabricates Racist Attack: Police Launch Investigation

Wed 12th Mar, 2025

Herne (NRW) - A shocking turn of events has emerged in the case of an alleged racist attack involving a mother and her infant. Recent investigations have revealed that the woman fabricated the entire incident.

The individual initially claimed that while walking in a park with her two-month-old baby, a cyclist had assaulted her and made racist remarks, causing her child to fall. The gravity of these accusations prompted an investigation by the State Protection Unit after the incident was reported.

However, during the course of witness interrogations, it became clear that no such cyclist had existed. The investigation uncovered that the woman had actually secured her dog's leash to her stroller. When the dog pulled on the leash, the stroller tipped over, leading to the baby falling out. A bystander came to the mother's aid following this incident.

The police are currently looking into the reasons behind the woman's false claims, which has raised questions about her motives. The ongoing investigation by the State Protection Unit is aimed at uncovering more details about the situation.
