Two Brothers Admit to Violent Attack on Berlin Hospital Staff

The assault on a doctor and nurse in a Berlin emergency room occurred on New Year's Day 2024, with the accused citing intoxication as a factor.

Two brothers, aged 21 and 26, are on trial for assaulting medical staff in the emergency room of the Sana Klinikum in Berlin-Lichtenberg on January 1, 2024.
The incident began when the brothers demanded immediate treatment for a hand injury sustained by the younger sibling during a New Year's Eve celebration.
The attack left a doctor with a bleeding wound above his eye and a nurse with a concussion after being shoved into a wall and knocked to the ground.
The defendants admitted to their actions, attributing their behavior to alcohol and cannabis use, and apologized in court for the violence and threats, including death threats directed at the staff.
A third brother, aged 17, was also involved but is currently missing and believed to be in Serbia; his case has been separated and temporarily suspended.
