Munich SEK Raid Linked to Machete Brawl Ends With Warning Shots

The operation targeted suspects in an Aug. 19 confrontation between rival groups that left two teenagers hospitalized.

Overview

  • Police say a 52-year-old resident fired two shots from a blank‑firing pistol as officers entered a Domagkpark apartment, prompting an officer to fire two warning shots with no injuries reported.
  • The man was arrested, reported for attempted dangerous bodily harm, questioned, and released, and his wife and 12-year-old daughter were present during the entry.
  • Investigators are treating the Aug. 19 Schwabing‑Freimann street fight as attempted homicide after securing a machete as evidence and documenting injuries to two 19-year-olds, including a deep abdominal wound.
  • A second nearby search led to the temporary detention of a young man suspected of involvement in the brawl, and the person sought in the raid was not found.
  • The state criminal office is reviewing the police firearm use as customary procedure, and neighbors reported two home surveillance cameras were destroyed over the weekend.
