While the driver is sleeping in the cab, an unidentified man gets into the truck in Frankfurt and drives off.

After several collisions, the stranger escapes.

Frankfurt – Unsuspectingly, a truck driver in the “Große Eschenheimer Strasse” in Frankfurt* went to sleep in his cabin in the driver’s cab.

Around 5 a.m., the 60-year-old was suddenly disturbed in the middle of his sleep when his vehicle started moving, as reported by fnp.de *.

As the Frankfurt police announced, in the night from Monday (April 4th, 2022) to Tuesday (April 5th, 2022), an unknown man got into the parked truck in the city center and suddenly drove off.

The 60-year-old driver then revealed himself to the stranger at the steering wheel.

Then there was a "squabble between the two men," as the Frankfurt police wrote in a statement.

The truck hit a 52-year-old cyclist.

He fell and, according to current knowledge, suffered minor injuries.

When the vehicle then collided with a lamp post, the night drive was over.

As a result of the impact, the 60-year-old had to be transported to a nearby hospital.

Instead, the alleged thief fled the scene of the accident and stole a wristwatch from the dazed 60-year-old's wrist.

The fugitive is described by police as follows:

• about 20 years old

• black cap

• black jacket

• white mouth and nose cover

Anyone who has made observations in this context is asked to contact the Frankfurt criminal police on 069/755-52199 or any other police station.

He recently arrested the police at the main station a suspected thief*.

However, he had already resold the loot.
