Bottle misses target and hits cars
Fortunately, the projectile missed the construction workers, so no one was physically injured in the incident.

Background: Attempted dangerous bodily harm
The criminal charge of “attempted dangerous bodily harm” (§§ 223, 224 StGB) is not a minor offense. Even the attempt to injure another person with a dangerous tool – which, according to established case law, regularly includes thrown glass bottles – is punishable. In the event of a conviction, prison sentences ranging from six months to ten years may be imposed. In addition to the criminal proceedings, the perpetrator is generally required under civil law to provide full compensation for the financial losses incurred, such as the damage to the parked vehicles in this case.
