Police Probe Erfurt Fan Attack During Autobahn Checks as Bayern Beat Bremen 4–0 After Disputed Call

The day’s events highlight VAR limits alongside rising pressure on matchday policing.

Overview

  • Berlin police intercepted three buses with about 150 Rot‑Weiß Erfurt supporters at the Dreilinden rest area after vandalism was reported at a Brandenburg stop near Potsdam.
  • During ID checks roughly 50 people were reviewed and several attacked officers from a bus, leaving one officer seriously injured; he has left hospital but is currently unfit for duty, according to regional reports.
  • Investigations are underway for dangerous bodily harm, assault on enforcement officers and suspected particularly serious breach of the peace, and the buses were escorted back to Thuringia with the fans barred from the Berlin match.
  • Bayern defeated Werder Bremen 4:0 with goals from Jonathan Tah, Harry Kane (penalty and open play) and Konrad Laimer, continuing a perfect league start.
  • A shove by Michael Olise on Felix Agu went unpunished before the corner that led to Tah’s opener, and VAR could not intervene because the goal followed a new restart, drawing post‑match complaints from Bremen.
