The rapper Fat Comedy apologized to the comedian two years after an attack on Oliver Pocher on the sidelines of a boxing match.
“It was a huge mistake,” said the 24-year-old accused of assault on Friday at the start of the criminal trial in the Dortmund district court.
He actually just wanted to make a “verbal announcement” to Pocher, but then he became angry and lashed out with his right hand.
Dortmund - The strong blow was wrong and he regrets the act.
Pocher is a co-plaintiff in the proceedings and described as a witness that the blow came completely out of nowhere.
The situation was opaque; he did not know whether further blows would follow, whether Fat Comedy had a knife with him or whether there were possibly other perpetrators in the room.
The 46-year-old spoke of a “certain life-threatening situation”.
The defendant is accused of intentional bodily harm.
The blow is said to have caused, among other things, hearing impairments in Pocher, who had watched a boxing match as a spectator in the Westfalenhalle in March 2022.
A video shows the attacker punching him in the face without warning.
Pocher said he was treated for tinnitus with cortisone injections.
On Friday, the public prosecutor's office demanded a suspended prison sentence of ten months with a fine.
The criminal trial had been postponed several times.
In July 2023, the Frankfurt regional court ordered Fat Comedy to pay 50,000 euros in compensation and compensation in a civil lawsuit; the judgment is not yet final.
