Weil im Schönbuch (dpa/lsw) – Two 16-year-olds are said to have threatened a 14-year-old in Weil im Schönbuch and thus triggered a police operation. During the break in the schoolyard, the two 16-year-olds approached the boy on Thursday and pulled him out of the yard, police said. One of the two elders asked the 14-year-old to fight and showed him what he thought was a real weapon. The boy allowed himself to be beaten by a teenager, probably out of fear.

A teacher became aware of the group, referred the two 16-year-olds from the schoolyard and called the police. Several patrol cars were looking for the two boys and found them near the school. The alleged weapon, which turned out to be a broken airsoft gun, was also found. The two suspects were handed over to their parents.
