Unknown people attacked the pub in Berlin-Kreuzberg and injures guests

An unknown man attacked a pub on Stresemannstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg on Saturday night. Around 1 a.m., the man sprayed irritant in the pub and directly in the face of a 38 -year -old guest, the police said. An employee and two other visitors suffered eye and skin irritation.

The perpetrator demanded cash from a 66 -year -old employee. However, since he did not find anything in the cash register, he fled without prey. The police are now investigating an attempted robbery.

The incident was also announced via a tweet from the Berlin police. According to this, the man entered the restaurant around 1 a.m., threatened the employee and two guests with a pepper spray and asked for money from the cash register. Since the cash register was probably too empty for him, he fled without prey.

The exact background of the raid and the identity of the perpetrator are not yet known. The police hope for evidence from the population to grasp the man.

This incident is once again reminiscent of the need for security measures in catering operations. Especially in large cities such as Berlin, in which the risk of raids and violent crimes is higher, pubs and bars should take appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of employees and guests. This can include the use of security personnel, the installation of monitoring systems or the training of employees in de -escalation techniques.

The Berlin police are asking everyone who made suspicious observations on Saturday in Stresemannstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
