Overview
- Police said Saturday that a municipal worker was sprayed from a self-built platform with a foul-smelling liquid and that a container labeled "Urin" was found at the scene.
- Officers reported seizing pyrotechnics and wooden boards with protruding nails and documented multiple breaches of forest fire-safety rules after people lit a campfire in the woodland.
- Authorities provisionally detained a suspect who they say aimed the spray from above and missed police, and investigators are examining possible damage to a nearby fence.
- Hessian Interior Minister Roman Poseck sharply condemned the attack, framed the incidents as unlawful overstepping of protest limits, and called for enforcement to protect public safety.
- The events update a year-long conflict that began with activists occupying the site to block gravel extraction and could lead to criminal charges and stricter policing around Langener Waldsee.
