Wild brawl in front of the luggage locker system at Berlin Central Station. Two sisters (18, 19) beat a 60-year-old there.
The attack came on Thursday around 7:15 a.m., as the federal police announced on Friday. Why – unclear.
The man fought back and is said to have hit the attackers with a bag full of returnable plastic bottles. Federal police officers separated everyone involved on site and took everyone involved in the argument to the office.
The federal police are now investigating suspected dangerous bodily harm against both the 18 and 19-year-old Romanians and the 60-year-old Lebanese national.
After consultation with the Berlin public prosecutor’s office, the officers transferred the two women, who were known to the police in connection with property crimes, to the central police custody after all police measures had been completed.
The two sisters are due to appear before a judge on Friday.
