What did he probably eat up?
Shortly before 2 a.m. on Thursday night, officers from Directorate 2 wanted to check a silver Mercedes with a Polish license plate on Fasanenstrasse in Charlottenburg – but the driver gave full throttle.
The journey went via Hardenbergstrasse, Ernst-Reuter-Platz and Strasse des 17. Juni to the roundabout at the Victory Column. Here the Mercedes driver rammed a taxi.
The driver and passenger jumped out of the Mercedes. The former fled through the Großer Tiergarten, the manhunt is ongoing. The passenger was arrested.
The taxi driver and a female passenger were treated on site by paramedics. After an on-site inspection, the passenger was allowed to continue on foot.
