A physical altercation allegedly took place in a wholesale shop in Stralsund over a bottle of cooking oil.
According to initial information, two men got into an argument in the wholesale shop for catering supplies in Lindenstraße in Stralsund. A 33-year-old man with Eritrean nationality wanted to buy a bottle of cooking oil there.
“This was refused to him by a 31-year-old employee of the wholesaler. The Tunisian employee explained that no sales to individuals were possible in a wholesale shop,” a police spokesperson said on Monday.
The dispute over this escalated to such an extent that it then came to a mutual exchange of blows in front of the building, according to the current state of the investigation. The 33-year-old later filed a complaint for assault.
However, none of the participants had visible injuries. The police have started an investigation on suspicion of assault.
