The kidnapper entered the bus at a bus stop in the Voerde district of Ennepetal. On board the bus, the kidnapper threatened the bus driver and the people onboard the bus with kitchen Knive s, and tied a number of children together with some rope. He then dragged the tied-up children off the bus, at which point several children could flee. The man then pulled four girls aged between 11 and 16 into a nearby house, overpowering the house owner and dragging the four hostages into the cellar of the house. According to an eye witness, the hostage taker demanded to speak to the German authorities, asking for his family to be allowed to join him in Germany. However, no official contact could be established with the hostage taker. At 6:12 p.m., special police forces from the nearby city of Dortmund stormed the building, freeing the hostages. One of the hostages and the kidnapper sustained minor injuries. SEE ALSO |
