Irritant Released at Dresden Restaurant as City Logs Second Incident in Days

Authorities report an undetected agent on arrival, with no established link to the earlier pub case.

Overview

  • Emergency services declared a mass‑casualty alarm on Saturday in Niedersedlitz after diners reported breathing difficulties and eye irritation.
  • Roughly 80 to 90 people were inside the Poseidon restaurant; 24 were medically assessed on site and no hospital transports were required.
  • Fire officials said the irritant was no longer identifiable or measurable when crews arrived, and the restaurant was ventilated.
  • Police said a cloudy plume rose from a table before symptoms began, and a bus was used to shelter affected guests during triage.
  • The incident follows a Thursday pub case in Gorbitz that left five people with minor injuries and one hospitalized, with suspects still at large and investigations ongoing for dangerous bodily harm.
