A cold November morning in 2022 at around 3.40 a.m. in the parking lot at Brandenburg Central Station. Detlef O. (63) is parking his Toyota in order to take the train to work when five young people ask him where the train is heading to Berlin. The DB security staff provides information in a friendly manner. But instead of saying thank you, they attack him…
He saw three of the robbers again on Thursday in the dock of the regional court: Gino B. (21), Sebastian K. (18) and Dustin B. (then 16). The accusation: particularly aggravated robbery, assault.
“It was a terrible thing. I’m so sorry, “so and similar now her remorse. But at that time they knew no mercy for their victim.
They came from Berlin, supposedly wanted to go to a village to settle something with a guy there. For any ugly scenes, K. had a baton and a blank pistol with him: “But nothing was going on at the time.” That’s why they spontaneously came up with the idea of ”buying a car”.

Detlef O. wants to lock his car when he is spoken to again: “We’re going to attack you now. Keys and valuables here!”
He refuses, is grabbed from behind, hit, brought to the ground. The victim: “Suddenly there was a flash, a bang.” K.’s shot just missed the head.
Police stopped robbers after 800 meters
But after 800 meters the police stopped the robbers. The occupants jump out of the moving car, which collides easily with the patrol car. The three accused are caught a little later with the support of police helicopters.
The receipt for you: Youth sentences of 2 years, 10 months (K.), two and a half years (B.) and 2 years, three months (Bö.). They each agreed to pay the victim 1,000 euros in compensation.
Detlef O. was unable to work for four months. In addition to psychological treatment. But the nightmares and fears are still there.
The other two perpetrators remained unknown.
