- Attack on a new subsidiary of Burger King in East-Berlin
-
- Friedrichshain. Aproximately one hundred persons carried out an
- attack on the Burger King subsidiary in Friedrichshain on Tuesday
- night. Shortly before midnight the group fired flares and threw
- stones through the windows of the fast food restaurant on
- Frankfurter Alee. There was considerable damage, but no injuries.
- Employees, involved in the preperations for the opening, fled into
- the back rooms. A police patrol car observing the events called
- for backup. In a short time around forty uniformed and plain
- clothed officers met at the scene. The group then threw stones at
- the radio car and fled. The police were unable to make any
- arrests. In spite of the destruction the subsidiary oppened as
- planned. This is the first restaurant of the fast food chain
- Burger King on the East side of the city. taz
