Riots broke out at the S-Bahn station. The station building was vandalized and numerous cars were smashed or burned, including at least one W 50 police truck and one police car. The police was allegedly outnumbered, although the high number of supporters of FC Berlin at the scene claimed by the police has been disputed. Cobblestones were thrown at the police waiting at the Pettenkofer Straße. The Volkpolizei now decided to use their firearms. 18-year old supporter Mike Polley (de) from the locality of Malchow in Berlin was hit by several bullets and instantly killed. Several others were injured and at least another three people were seriously injured. One supporter of FC Berlin was hit in the head and suffered critical injuries, but survived. Reports and sources vary on what happened on the scene and how the situation was. The Volkspolizei had fired between 50 and 100 shots in about a minute, from 11 different police pistols. Shots had been fired from distances as long as 30–40 meters. The Volkspolizei had also fired at fleeing supporters. Not every injured had come with the supporters of FC Berlin. Also an uninvolved woman was shot in the leg.
