Man in front of subway - Berlin police arrest suspects

After the fatal blow of a man in front of the subway at Kottbusser Tor in Berlin, a suspect has been arrested. Berlin investigators had him "just" in Eberswalde - about 44 kilometers as the crow flies northeast of Berlin - arrested, said the Attorney General Berlin on Friday evening via Twitter. On Saturday he should be presented to the magistrate.

30-year-old at the Kottbusser gate in front of the subway encountered - investigation success: A suspect could be identified and just in Eberswalde by Berlin investigators arrested. His demo for the adoption of a HB is scheduled for tomorrow. More information tomorrow.

In the night of Wednesday, a man had hit a 30-year-old Iranian in front of a subway. This was so seriously injured by the incoming train in the underground station of the U8, that he died on the spot. Previously, it should have been on the platform, according to police a dispute between the victim and a companion and a larger group to which the perpetrator belonged. A murder commission of the Berlin Kriminalpolizei had searched for the culprit.

"It has condensed evidence that a drug business could have underpinned the act," prosecutor spokesman Martin Steltner said Friday. But you can not say more at the moment. The police said that the 30-year-old resided in Berlin and was known to the authorities for drug offenses.

The Kottbusser Tor, called "Kotti" in Berlin, is one of the so-called crime-prone places for the police. Drugs have been sold there for decades, including harder drugs such as heroin. The place was a few years ago because of numerous pickpocketing in the headlines. For some time, however, there has been an improvement in the situation - including through increased police operations for more than a year. The subway station, which is under video surveillance, is still full of dealers and addicts.
