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.
According to the officials, the young man had refueled his car at the gas station in Bremen's Gröpelingen district on Wednesday and then went into the sales room without a mask.
When the employee advised him of the mask requirement, a dispute broke out.
The customer left the building and returned with the mask on.
Then he hit the seller.
According to the police, he kicked the 67-year-old gas station attendant when he was already on the ground.
Then he drove away.
The gas station attendant was taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment after the attack.
The 21-year-old returned to the scene a little later and turned himself in to the police.
The Bremer is now being investigated for dangerous bodily harm, property damage and theft.
