Overview

  • Police say a dispute shortly before noon in a queue on Stauffenbergstraße escalated between two Egyptian nationals aged 29 and 51.
  • The 29-year-old allegedly insulted and struck the older man, who reported ear pain but declined treatment from rescue workers.
  • Responding officers used pepper spray during the intervention after the younger man resisted at the scene.
  • The suspect allegedly continued resisting in custody, injuring three officers so severely they were unable to continue their shifts.
  • An investigating judge will decide on remand, and police later said they could not confirm which embassy on the street was involved.
