An unprecedented attack that has caused quite a fright. “If you look at the bullet hole, one can imagine so, what would have happened if the bullet had penetrated the window,” said Michael Preetz, who stunned Hertha manager.

An unknown motorcyclist had fired on the team bus, which should pick up the Hertha team Bielefeld Train Station on Sunday evening. “.. Luckily, no one is injured, it was a shot, but we can not say what the motivation was the bus driver immediately called the police, and now the hunt is running for the culprit,” said Preetz and added: “We consider the as attack on life and limb. We are shocked and hope the police find the perpetrators. “

For the Berlin bus driver it was “a huge shock” as Hertha manager Preetz remarked: “He has already survived many dangerous situations on the road, but he has never been one in the barrel gun peeped. “

In Turkey, there had been an armed attack on a team bus in April. After the 5: 1 away win at Çaykur Rizespor the team bus from Fenerbahce Istanbul had been shot on the way to Trabzon airport with a gun, the team was on board. The driver was injured and had to be operated on.

Preetz hopes that the incident will have any major impact on the cup game in the evening. “The team was on the train and was immediately heard nothing about the incident,” he said and appealed to all: One should “not break down the act of an individual to the whole game.”
