Man Injures Self and Inspectors in Ticket Refusal on M10 Tram
A tense situation unfolded at Bersarinplatz around 11 a.m. today when a 35-year-old man refused to show his ticket to a 20-24 year old BVG inspector on an M10 tram in Friedrichshain. The man attempted to flee, leading to a scuffle that left him and two fare inspectors injured.
The incident began when the man boarded the M10 tram without a valid ticket. When approached by the young inspector, he refused to cooperate and tried to evade the inspection. A struggle ensued, resulting in injuries to the man and two other inspectors who intervened.
The man later claimed that the inspectors had taken his ticket and headphones during the altercation. However, police investigations found no evidence to support this claim. The inspectors involved in incident number 0348 have not been publicly identified.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of cooperating with public transport authorities. The names and identities of the inspectors involved have not been released to the public. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
