Berlin: A suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British toddler who vanished from a Portuguese resort 13 years ago, suffered two broken ribs in an incident at a German court, authorities said.
The incident occurred after Christian Brueckner, who is serving time on a drug conviction, was taken to Braunschweig state court on Monday for a routine hearing on that case.

Court spokeswoman Jessica Knab-Henrichs said that he was briefly treated in a hospital for two broken ribs, and was then returned to the court where the hearing was carried out.
The incident is under investigation and further details on what happened at the court were expected to be released later in the day, she said.
