Six adults argued with a young woman in Prenzlauer Berg because she apparently did not want to wear a face mask on the tram. The group then racially insulted the 17-year-old and hit her so badly that she had to go to the hospital. More in the live ticker.
In a dispute over a missing mouth and nose cover, a 17-year-old teenager in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg was beaten and hospitalized on Saturday evening. According to her, the argument escalated with a total of six adults on a tram. The men and women informed the girl about the mask requirement, the police said on Sunday.
After an initially verbal argument, the young people were finally racially insulted from within the group. When everyone involved left the train, the dispute is said to have escalated further. The young woman was arrested and repeatedly punched and kicked. In addition, one of the women involved is said to have pulled out her hair, the police reported. The 17-year-old finally had to be admitted to the hospital.
Due to a video shot by the victim, the alarmed officers recognized one of the men involved from previous police operations. He and two other suspects, aged between 42 and 51, were arrested at a nearby pub but denied the allegations. Some of the men were drunk, and the police also found narcotics on one of them. Investigations into the women involved are ongoing.
