Violent assault inflicted through hitting and striking
A violent assault took place in the Märkisches Quarter this morning, leaving several people injured. The incident occurred around 8:30 AM at a kiosk on Wesendorfer Straße, where a 33-year-old suspect attacked a 64-year-old customer and a 72-year-old kiosk owner with brass knuckles.
The assault was followed by a series of disturbing events. The suspect fled the scene, insulting a 43-year-old passerby before striking him with manhole covers. The passerby sustained head and arm injuries and was taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment. Fortunately, he has since been discharged from the hospital.
The suspect then fled to a multi-family dwelling on Senftenberger Ring. There, he damaged an elevator window, sustaining a severe hand injury. The brass knuckles used in the assault were seized nearby.
The police officers arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect. The 33-year-old is currently in police custody. The authorities are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime due to the offensive language used during the assault.
The kiosk owner and the 64-year-old customer are recovering from their injuries. The attacker's motive for the assault remains unclear.
The police are urging witnesses to come forward with any information that could aid the ongoing investigation. It is crucial that anyone with relevant information helps the authorities in their efforts to bring justice to the victims and ensure the safety of the community.
