Driver's Chaotic Spree Leaves One Dead, Several Injured in Berlin-Brandenburg
A 27-year-old driver caused chaos at the Berlin-Brandenburg border, first hitting pedestrians and then a cyclist. The driver allegedly bit off a passenger's fingertip before the incidents. Tragically, a cyclist died, and several others were injured.
The driver's erratic behavior began in Lichterfelde, where he allegedly bit off his passenger's fingertip before driving off the road and colliding with a pedestrian protection barrier. This resulted in injuries to two pedestrians and the passenger.
The driver continued towards Potsdam-Mittelmark, hitting another pedestrian and a cyclist on the Mauerweg route. The cyclist sadly died at the scene, and several people were injured. After the accident, the car came to a stop in a construction site, but the driver attempted to flee. Police apprehended him near the scene.
The suspect's name was not explicitly stated in the provided search results. However, a source mentioned a smuggler temporarily detained by the Federal Police in North Brandenburg near Gartz (Oder) on October 1, 2025, but no name was given.
The suspected perpetrator was arrested and is believed to have acted accidentally, not intentionally. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the driver's erratic behavior. The incidents have left the community shaken, with one life lost and several others injured.
