Young man from Gelsenkirchen allegedly intentionally assaulted his father.

A 19-year-old man from Gelsenkirchen is under investigation for a hit-and-run incident that occurred on August 29, 2025, in Gelsenkirchen-Schalke. The accident involved a car and a bicycle on Franz-Bielefeld-Straße near Königsberger Straße.

The cyclist, a 43-year-old man, was the victim's father. The car belonging to the father was seized as evidence, along with his bicycle. Investigations are focusing on whether the 19-year-old intentionally drove into his father.

Upon arriving at the scene, the 19-year-old driver left without checking on the injured man. He later surrendered at the South police station. However, upon being told he would be taken into custody, the young man reacted aggressively and resisted. As a result, his driver's license was also seized.

The 19-year-old is also suspected of repeatedly violating a restraining order issued due to domestic violence. It is being examined if he should remain in custody longer. A blood sample was taken from him for further investigation.

At this time, there are no search results indicating that anyone else is in investigative custody on suspicion of deliberately attacking the father in connection with the car accident. The available results describe other incidents in August 2025, but none match this specific case.

The 19-year-old's father, the cyclist, sustained slight injuries in the accident. The officers who responded to the scene remained unharmed during the struggle with the suspect.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to restraining orders and the consequences of reckless driving. The investigation continues, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
