Looks to me like the aircraft had a steering problem on the taxiway and turned right onto grass - reason unknown.
The tug is after the event, being attached to nose leg probably to facilitate pushback onto taxiway.

Those who know Frankfurt ops will know that, after deplaning its passengers at the terminal, the Air China is towed to a remote parking on the south side. Therefore, a technical problem with the tug or, as already mentioned, that the tug driver became ill.

CA965 landed FRA runway 25R at 0629 local and taxied directly to its gate (as seen on FR24 btw). As is normal practice every day, it was then to be towed to a remote parking area on the south side of the airport in order to free the gate. The aircraft was not due to depart again as CA966 until 1355 local. The incident occurred during the towing process. End of!
