Dispute involving hammer and car

Following a dispute between several men in Altglienicke, two injured people are receiving treatment. According to n-tv.de, a 47-year-old allegedly attacked the two men with a hammer and then deliberately drove his car into them. A 29-year-old sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital. The second injured man, 22 years old, was treated on an outpatient basis.

The altercation began around midnight on Kirschweg. The two later victims got into a dispute with a four-strong group. They were beaten and kicked. The group initially withdrew from them — but the 47-year-old returned with a hammer. He then got into his car and drove deliberately towards the men. The 29-year-old was thrown over a garden fence onto a property after he struck the bonnet and windscreen.

Police officers arrested three men. The 47-year-old is considered the main suspect and remained in custody. The two other men, aged 39 and 42, were released after blood tests. All three were intoxicated at the time of the offence. The suspect does not possess a valid driving licence. It remains unclear for now what triggered the dispute.
