A group of four attacked a taxi driver in Oldenburg, stole his taxi, and then crashed the car. The driver had taken the three women and one man - all of whom were drunk - to Bad Zwischenahn before an argument broke out in the taxi. The male passenger became violent, after which the driver fled with minor injuries and called the police. 

Accident After Taxi Theft

Since the 59-year-old man and the women aged 37, 58, and 63 subsequently drove off in the car, the officers initially arrived too late. However, it was not the last offense that night: After the taxi rammed into another car, the group fled the accident scene.

Later, they then drove into a lamppost and a traffic sign, leaving the stolen vehicle totaled. When a 19-year-old tried to come to their aid, he was attacked and slightly injured by the 59-year-old. Additionally, the assailant also attacked a police officer.

Investigations Underway

According to police reports, none of the four wanted to comment on the theft and the other offenses. Blood samples were taken from all of them. Now, among other things, they are being investigated for aggravated theft and endangering road traffic.
