Berlin Police Use Taser on Man Resisting Arrest in Hospital

A 39-year-old man was subdued with a Taser after escalating resistance during a police intervention that began with a noise complaint in Neukölln.

Police responded to a noise complaint in Berlin's Neukölln district, where a 39-year-old man had been loudly shouting in his apartment.
The man resisted police efforts, including kicking and refusing to cooperate, leading to his restraint and transport to a hospital for evaluation.
During the incident, the man headbutted a police officer, causing injury, and continued to resist while being transported in an ambulance.
At the hospital, the man’s behavior remained aggressive, prompting an officer to use a Taser after initial warnings failed to de-escalate the situation.
Authorities have taken a blood sample from the man on the orders of the prosecutor’s office, and investigations into the incident are ongoing.
