Overview

• Police say roughly 150 Rot-Weiß Erfurt supporters traveled in three buses toward Berlin before one bus was stopped at the former Dreilinden rest area on the A115.
• Officers checked about 50 people; several allegedly attacked from inside a bus, trapping an officer in a door, and the injured officer remains hospitalized with serious injuries.
• Witness reports of vandalism at the Parforceheide service area in Brandenburg prompted the interception after damage and extensive graffiti were observed.
• Authorities requested reinforcements from Brandenburg and Berlin police and are investigating on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm, attacks on officers and a particularly serious breach of the peace.
• The checked supporters were barred from the Regionalliga match against Hertha BSC II, which finished 0:0, and were to be sent back to Thuringia after police measures.
