Starnberg: Drunk Oktoberfest visitor attacks taxi driver
A 29-year-old Oktoberfest visitor is under investigation following a violent altercation with taxi drivers in Starnberg. The incident began after the intoxicated man vomited in a taxi, leading to a dispute over cleaning costs.
According to police, the situation escalated when the man threatened a driver with an axe taken from a nearby garden. He subsequently threw a log at a driver, striking him in the arm. A second taxi driver who attempted to intervene was also involved in a physical struggle, resulting in minor injuries to both the passenger and the second driver. Authorities have ordered a blood test due to the suspect's high level of intoxication, and investigations are ongoing against both the passenger and the taxi driver involved in the physical altercation.
