Car hits pedestrian 24-year-old struck by a car during a fight in Bad Godesberg
Bad Godesberg · A 24-year-old was hit by a car during a fight in Bad Godesberg. His injuries were so serious he had to receive medical treatment. The suspected opponents followed the man to hospital.
Police and the public prosecutor’s office are investigating three men aged 20, 24 and 26 on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. They are alleged to have seriously injured a 24-year-old acquaintance during a dispute on Plittersdorfer Straße.
Police said the trio had met the 24-year-old at the underground station on Plittersdorfer Straße around 5.55pm on Saturday afternoon to discuss a recent incident at a party. Those involved got into a serious fight during which the three men hit and trod on their victim. When a passerby noticed the incident, the perpetrators ran off and got into a car that was parked on Plittersdorfer Straße.
The 24-year-old followed them and stood half on the street. According to current investigations, the 20-year-old driver drove off and injured the 24-year-old so seriously when driving past that he had to be taken to hospital for in-patient treatment. When the three men appeared there a short time later they were detained by officers from the Bad Godesberg police station.
An investigative commission from Bonn police took over the investigation in close cooperation with the public prosecutor’s office. On an application by the public prosecutor’s office, a judge issued an arrest warrant for grievous bodily harm against the 26-year-old, which was suspended under strict conditions.
The two other men could also leave the police station. Investigations into the background and the exact course of the incident are ongoing. The 20-year-old had to hand in his driving licence before leaving the police station.
