Grandpa Henry (65) chases sex offenders away

Grandpa Henry's Brave Stand Against a Predator

Gauting, Bavaria - The haunting echoes of a woman's desperate cries for help still resonate in Henry G.'s (65) ears.

"She hid behind me, trembling like a leaf, completely terrified." Henry recalled the chilling incident. The elderly gentleman courageously stood between the suspected rapist and his victim. Shouting to scare the man away, he threatened, "Get lost. The cops are on their way. I already called for help." The cunning strategy worked, as the assailant turned tail and fled into the nearby residential area.

Although the police initially failed to find the suspect, Henry's timely intervention had left an indelible mark.

Recalling the harrowing scene, Henry shared, "He turned around and left hastily." The emergency services were promptly notified, but the perpetrator went undetected during the initial search.

Unbeknownst to law enforcement, the fleeing man would soon target another victim—an 83-year-old woman also in the forest, gathering mushrooms. Once again, the fearless senior citizen inspired courage by vigorously resisting. The stranger, shaken by Henry's determination, abandoned his wicked intentions. Regrettably, the elderly woman sustained minor injuries from the altercation.

Undaunted, the police launched an extensive manhunt, eventually tracking down the powerful suspect with help from the detailed description provided by Henry. The 28-year-old Nigerian national faced justice before a German judge, who upheld the arrest warrant issued by Munich II's public prosecutor's office.

In recognition of Henry's unwavering bravery, Gauting's Chief Inspector Andreas Ruch honored the pensioner with a small reward and gift basket. "His civil courage is truly inspiring." Ruch commended, "It was thanks to him that the 44-year-old victim did not fall prey to a potential sexual assault."

1. Following the first incident, local law enforcement launched an extensive search for the perpetrator, scouring the surrounding area in an effort to apprehend the suspect.
2. In a dramatic turn of events, the suspect's second victim was an 83-year-old senior citizen, who, despite her age and the threat of harm, managed to repel her attacker with a powerful display of resistance.
3. Despite the limited resources available to local media, Henry's heroism captured the attention of the national press, with outlets like "Munich regional news" praising the importance of civil courage in such morally reprehensible situations.
