BERLIN (AP) Hertha Berlin says its team bus was shot at Sunday ahead of a German Cup match in Bielefeld.
The Bundesliga club says no one was injured in the incident. There were no players on the bus at the time.
Hertha general manager Michael Preetz tells Sport1 that the bus was overtaken by a motorcyclist who threatened the driver with his fist and then pulled out a pistol at a roundabout. The shot did not penetrate the windscreen.
Preetz says ''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.''
