The incident in Idar-Oberstein is followed by another. In Bremen, a gas station attendant had advised a customer of the mask requirement. He was then attacked. The perpetrator then turned himself in to the police.
A gas station attendant was attacked in Bremen after a dispute over the mask requirement. A 21-year-old man hit and kicked the seller lying on the ground several times, the police said. The 67-year-old was taken to hospital for outpatient treatment after the Wednesday morning attack.
The perpetrator turned himself in to the police
The 21-year-old attacker returned to the scene a little later and turned himself in to the police. As a customer, he had previously entered the gas station in the Gröpelingen district without mouth and nose protection. After the gas station attendant had drawn his attention to the obligation to wear, he came back a little later with his mask on and attacked the seller. The Bremer is now being investigated for dangerous bodily harm, property damage and theft.
Just a few weeks ago, a fatal shot after a dispute over the mask requirement at a gas station in Idar-Oberstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, triggered nationwide horror. A 49-year-old man returned to the gas station after being told that there was no mouth and nose protection and killed the 20-year-old salesman with a shot in the head.
