Overview
- Two 11-year-old girls encountered a 37-year-old man on Monday, June 29, when he allegedly exposed himself and manipulated his genitals on Straße Am Schneckenhaus and the girls called for help, prompting a nearby arrest.
- Police detained the suspect near a footpath shortly after the incident and then placed him in a psychiatric clinic after officers observed signs of a mental-health condition.
- Kriminalpolizei Würzburg has taken over the probe and is investigating the alleged exhibitionist acts committed in front of children.
- Authorities have not announced formal charges yet and say the psychiatric placement is part of immediate protection and assessment, with criminal procedures continuing as investigators gather evidence.
- Police issued practical safety guidance—keep distance, go to busy places, do not confront the person, call 110 and give precise descriptions—and urged witnesses or victims to report incidents to help identify and protect others.
