Hertha Berlin Team Bus Shot at by Motorcyclist: Latest Details and Comments

Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin had their team bus shot at by a motorcyclist on Sunday ahead of their first-round DFB-Pokal match against Arminia Bielefeld.

Nobody was injured during the incident in Bielefeld in north west Germany, per the club's website (h/t BBC Sport).

The Hertha team were not on the bus at the time, as the driver was travelling to pick up them up from Bielefeld Central Station and take them to their hotel.

Sky News provided a photograph of the bus' windscreen, which appears to have a bullet hole in it, although the glass was not penetrated:

The incident took place ahead of Hertha's cup clash with second-division side Arminia on Monday, and the police are now investigating.

Hertha chief executive Michael Preetz spoke of his relief that nobody had been hurt, per BBC Sport: "We are deeply shocked and hope that the perpetrators will be caught. Luckily our bus driver got off with a fright."

The motorcyclist responsible reportedly gestured at the bus driver "with his fist" before firing at the vehicle.

Hertha, who finished 15th in the Bundesliga last term, will start their 2015-16 league campaign against Augsburg on Saturday.
