BERLIN (Reuters) - German police have arrested a man
suspected of holding three teenagers at gun point in
the street and demanding money before forcing two of
them to strip naked and jump up and down on car hoods,
police said Tuesday.
The victims, two young men and a young woman, were
confronted by the man as they walked home in a Berlin
suburb in the early hours of Monday morning. He drew a
gun and demanded money but they had no cash on them.
"The man then told the two men to strip naked and
asked the girl to remove her shoes," a police
spokeswoman said.
He forced the men to set fire to the clothes and shoes
on the pavement then made them climb onto parked cars
and jump up and down until they shattered the
windshields, she added.
Police were alerted but when they arrived the man had
fled. A short while later he attacked another women in
the area but ran off when she began to scream for
help.
Police later arrested a 20-year-old German.
