Bad robbery attack on a 19-year-old in Lichtenberg on Thursday evening. According to the police, the young man was attacked and injured by a youth gang.
The group of about six is said to have spoken to the 19-year-old around 6:30 p.m. on John-Sieg-Strasse and then stole his mobile phone. But that’s not all.
Then the attackers are said to have demanded further valuables with a blank gun, the threat of violence with a knife and punches in the face.
The attackers fled with a fanny pack, a watch and the PINs for the 19-year-old’s EC card and cell phone.
When police officers checked a group of six (16 to 21) they found the stolen goods nearby – arrest!
Meanwhile, rescue workers took the 19-year-old to a hospital for outpatient treatment with a shock and minor injuries to his face.
The investigations are ongoing.
