Elderly individual experienced a robbery and assault inside an elevator

An 84-year-old man and his wife were victims of a shocking robbery in an elevator of an apartment building in Berlin-Schöneberg. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon.

According to reports, an unknown young man joined the elevator and committed the robbery. The assailant allegedly snatched a chain from the 84-year-old's neck before striking him on the head. The elderly man suffered bruises and skin abrasions, and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The 80-year-old woman, who was also present in the elevator during the incident, initially declined medical treatment. However, it is unclear if she has sought medical attention since the incident.

The unknown man then proceeded to kick the elderly man in the head and body before fleeing the building. The name of the police station where the crime case in Berlin-Schöneberg was reported is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results.

This incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of personal safety, especially for the elderly. The community is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the local authorities.

Our thoughts are with the affected family during this difficult time. Further updates on the case will be provided as more information becomes available.
