Overview

• Investigators say a glass container first struck the car’s hood before a gas cylinder weighing more than one kilogram hit the passenger-side windshield.
• The 31-year-old driver was not injured, though the windshield suffered significant damage.
• Witness accounts pointed to three people on the bridge, leading to the arrests of a 20-year-old man and two women aged 18 and 19.
• An examining magistrate ordered pretrial detention for the trio on suspicion of a killing.
• The incident occurred late Monday under the Fischmarkt footbridge in St. Pauli, and police are appealing for further witnesses, particularly the taxi driver believed to have been there.
