Kulmbach (dpa / lby) - On Monday in Kulmbach, Upper Franconia, a man pulled an 82-year-old from her wheelchair and dropped it on the street.

Apparently the 36-year-old was annoyed because the unilateral leg amputee had lit a cigarette, the police said.

Passers-by watched the attack in downtown Kulmbach and called the police.

The officers identified the perpetrator.

This is now awaiting a charge of assault.
