Overview
- In the Saturday incident at a Niedersedlitz restaurant with roughly 80 to 90 guests, 24 people were medically screened and several were treated on site, with no hospital transports required.
- A MANV alarm triggered the deployment of about 90 responders, the venue was ventilated, and a Dresden transit bus was used to temporarily shelter exposed patrons during assessments.
- Fire officials said the irritant was no longer measurable when crews arrived, complicating efforts to determine the substance involved.
- Two days earlier in a Gorbitz pub, a man allegedly sprayed irritant after being asked to leave, injuring five people and leading to one hospital admission as the suspects fled.
- Police have opened dangerous bodily harm investigations in both cases and say there is currently no confirmed connection between the incidents, with the perpetrators still at large.
