Overview

• A brief collision between a 40-year-old and a 20-year-old outside a clothing store on Monday afternoon escalated into a larger fight at the Harburg mall.
• Police were already on scene when a 23-year-old allegedly attacked and threatened a 26-year-old around 3:50 p.m., leading officers to restrain and detain the suspect.
• Proceedings for threat and bodily harm were initiated against the 23-year-old, and the Kriminalpolizei began formal investigations.
• Images show officers placing a spit-protection hood on the detainee; a police spokesperson would not confirm whether he spat, while MOPO reported he shouted, resisted, and spat.
• MOPO reported the man was taken to a station and later released, and three other participants filed mutual complaints as inquiries continue.
