Police investigate attack on taxi driver in Aurich parking
A 36-year-old driver was hurt after the attacker allegedly tried to hit him through the window.
A 36-year-old taxi driver was attacked on a nightclub car park in Aurich after refusing a trip, police said.
The incident happened on Saturday at around 03:10 on the car park in Kirchdorfer Straße. After the driver turned away the suspect because the ride had already been agreed, the man allegedly became angry and tried to strike him by using the open window of the taxi. The driver managed to fend off the blows but still suffered minor injuries to his face.
Police also dealt with other incidents in the area on Saturday. In Aurich, multiple reports came in at around 20:00 from people who said a man was walking near the roadway. Officers found a 39-year-old man, intoxicated and without a fixed address, and discovered he had an open arrest warrant. During the arrest, he resisted officers. No one was injured.
In Südbrookmerland, a couple reported they were repeatedly driven into by another car while travelling on Auricher Straße around 17:30. The background is unclear. A criminal case has been opened against the unknown driver of a dark estate car, after the incident caused significant damage to the couple’s Seat Cupra.
Elsewhere, police are investigating two hit-and-run cases. In Großefehn, between 08:30 and 09:10 on Saturday, a parked VW Golf with Aurich plates was damaged at a supermarket car park in Postweg. The driver left the scene.
And in Lütetsburg, between 15:00 and 16:30 on Saturday, another VW Sharan parked in the 2. Moorriege was hit. A grey Citroen may have been involved.
