In the case of the fatally injured taxi driver in Berlin-Grunewald, a suspect is in custody. He was arrested, said a spokeswoman for the Berlin Attorney General in the evening. She confirmed a report by “BZ”. The investigators have not yet released any further information – such as the identity of the man or the circumstances of the arrest.
A passer-by found the 49-year-old taxi driver on Thursday morning, a police spokeswoman said. Despite the first rescue attempts by witnesses on site, the man later died in a hospital. The perpetrator or perpetrators had fled, the police had announced. The background to the fact is unclear. A homicide commission took over the investigation.
