Pocher speaks of a “life-threatening” situation
Oliver Pocher, who appeared as a witness and co-plaintiff, reported to the court that the blow had come “out of nowhere” for him and that he found the situation to be “unclear” because he did not know whether further blows would follow the attacker had a knife with him or whether other perpetrators might be lying in wait for him.
