A violent incident unfolded in the heart of the Märkisches Quarter this morning, as a 33-year-old suspect allegedly attacked a 64-year-old customer and a 72-year-old kiosk owner. The assault took place in a kiosk on Wesendorfer Straße at around 8:30 AM.
According to reports, the suspect, who was fleeing the scene, attacked a 43-year-old passerby with manhole covers, causing injuries to the passerby's head and arm. The injured individual was transported to a hospital for treatment.
The suspect, who sustained a severe hand injury during the incident, was arrested at the scene by the police officers involved. The officers also recovered the stolen knuckleduster nearby.
The investigation into the assault is being led by the responsible specialist commission of Police Directorate 1 (North) and is ongoing. Despite efforts to gather information, no witnesses have come forward to provide additional details about the incident.
The suspect was taken to a hospital for inpatient treatment, and the condition of the suspect following the surgery for the severe hand injury remains unknown. No further details about the suspect's identity or charges have been released by the police.
The investigation aims to determine the unknown motive behind the assault, as well as the damages caused during the suspect's escape. The multi-family dwelling on Senftenberger Ring, where the suspect fled, was reported for damages, specifically the broken elevator window.
The assaulted 64-year-old customer has not been identified in subsequent reports, nor has the kiosk owner who was injured during the assault. The suspect verbally abused three people during the incident, but no other details about the victims have been disclosed.
