Person injured by a foam projectile while operating a vehicle

In the city of Kiel, Germany, two separate incidents involving vehicles being shot at with foam-tipped arrows have taken place.

On Monday evening, the first incident occurred on the Westring. A 34-year-old man was driving when his car was targeted. The man and his passenger were both checked by officers at the scene. Investigations are now underway against the 34-year-old man and his passenger for dangerous interference in road traffic. Remarkably, the man was able to stop the car that was shooting at him.

In a separate incident, a 33-year-old man was driving when he was shot at multiple times with foam-tipped arrows. One of the arrows flew into the open window and hit him in the head. Fortunately, he remained unharmed after the first shooting incident. However, he was shot at again, but no further details about this incident have been released.

The police are searching for additional people who may have been shot at with foam-tipped arrows. At this time, there are no publicly known additional suspects besides the two men already arrested in connection with these incidents. The suspects in the second incident are a man and a woman, and no further information is given about the identity or motive of the shooter.

The police are urging anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a similar incident to come forward with information. The use of such weapons in public areas is a serious concern, and the authorities are working diligently to apprehend the individuals responsible and ensure the safety of the community.
