It's not all fun and games for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga these days.
According to The Guardian, the club's bus was attacked by an unknown assailant before their German Cup game at Arminia Bielefeld. Reportedly, a motorcyclist pulled alonside the bus, threatened the driver with his fist, pulled in front of the bus and fired a shot into the windshield.
The bullet failed to penetrate the bus. No players were on the bus at the time.
“It was one shot but we cannot say what the motivation was. The bus driver immediately called the police and now the search is on for the culprit. This was an attack on life and limb and not a trivial matter. It’s simply madness,” Hertha General Manager Michael Preetz told Sport1.
Hertha won the game 2-0 on Monday.
