A 84-year-old woman was injured in the Karl-Hermann-Flach-Straße on Wednesday, 10th January, 2018 at around 5pm when she was bitten by a dog that was not on a lead. Not only did she suffer a number of bites, but also injured her pelvis resulting in her being taken to hospital where she was kept in for treatment.
Her dog, a Havenese, was also attacked and underwent an emergency operation at an animal clinic.
Police have since found out that that the dog that attacked them was a Romanian sheepdog, that belonged to a 72-year-old man from Frankfurt. The dog had been left on a fenced-property on the end of Oberursel, where he had left it at around 4pm.

Police issue warning about trick phone calls
August 17, 2017 By Leave a Comment
Police in Bad Homburg and Oberursel have issued a warning after a number of phone calls were reported to them.
The callers used a trick in the phone system to show the number “110” on the display of the receiver’s phone. The police advise that they do not use this number when calling someone.
The callers target the elderly, and ask them about valuables and cash that they have at home. They then tell them that they have received information that they are about to be burgled, and are going to send someone round to take their valuables to the police station for safe keeping. Obviously if they did hand them over to whoever turned up they would not see them again.
The real police will not ask questions about valuables in the home, and will not asked where they are hidden. They do not take cash or valuables for safe keeping.
Anyone who receives such calls is advised to put the phone down and inform the local police. (Oberursel: 06171 62400, Bad Homburg: 06172 1200).
