Rostock (dpa/mv) – The federal police in Rostock are investigating a man who is said to have filmed a woman’s private parts at the train station. As a spokesman for the federal police said on Thursday, the 47-year-old Rostocker’s apartment had already been searched and his mobile phone confiscated. Among other things, data carriers were confiscated, the evaluation of which is still ongoing. It is being checked whether there have been other cases of this type.

The 21-year-old woman noticed the man on Tuesday because he had taken her in the genital area at the main station. The woman recognized him on secured camera recordings. He was intercepted on his way back from work and confronted with the accusation of “injury to the intimate area by taking pictures”.

It was not announced whether the man commented. The suspect is already known to the police for exhibitionist offenses from 2022, it said.
