Without warning: comedian and presenter Oliver Pocher is watching a boxing match when he is suddenly hit in the face by a man. The police have started the investigation.
After an attack on comedian Oliver Pocher on the sidelines of a boxing match in Dortmund, a man is being investigated for bodily harm.
On Saturday evening at 11:48 p.m., the police were informed of the incident, “we initiated an investigation that night,” said Dortmund police spokesman Peter Bandermann. The various videos of the incident would be secured as evidence.
The videos show how the attacker approaches Pocher, who was sitting in the front row at Felix Sturm’s boxing match on Saturday evening. Without warning, the man punched Pocher in the face and asked him to “Come with me”. Pocher left his seat and stewards tried to calm the attacker.
Planned attack?
It was obviously a conscious and planned attack that was deliberately filmed, said the police spokesman. This is particularly demeaning. The videos were also posted online very quickly.
According to reports from the “Bild” newspaper, “Express” and other media, the attacker was a rapper. The newspapers report that he later justified the attack via Instagram with his dislike of Pocher. As of Sunday afternoon, the rapper’s Instagram profile was no longer available.
