Because he had testified in court against a young person who, along with three other defendants, is currently having to answer for the attacks on passers-by at Pasinger train station a year ago, a 19-year-old was attacked and threatened with death by two young men late on Tuesday evening . As the police reported on Friday, an 18-year-old intercepted the witness at the Fürstenried West subway station, accompanied by a 15-year-old, and hit him in the face several times. He also threatened the 19-year-old that he could be stabbed and killed if he continued to “betray” friends.
The victim was also specifically asked about his statements in court, according to the police. The adult is the defendant’s brother. Four young people are accused in the trial, which is currently being heard at the Munich I Regional Court. They are said to have randomly attacked and robbed passers-by at Pasinger train station at the turn of the year 2022 and at the beginning of 2023. Not only are they said to have beaten their victims and sometimes kicked them while they were lying on the ground, but in one case a knife was also said to have been involved.
According to the police, the 19-year-old witness made “extensive statements” against a 21-year-old defendant during the trial on December 21st. The victim reported the attack on Wednesday. An arrest warrant was issued against the 18-year-old brother on Friday because the “targeted influence on a witness” constituted grounds for arrest, according to the police.
