Woman Accused of Attacking Police During Würzburg Photo Setup for CDU/CSU and SPD Leaders

Police were clearing the Alte Mainbrücke for a photo of national faction leaders.

Overview

  • Police say a 27-year-old struck a male officer with a porcelain cup and punched a female officer in the face after refusing to leave a cordoned area.
  • Both officers sustained minor injuries, and the woman was detained and given a ban from the city centre until the evening.
  • Officers had partially cleared the Old Main Bridge to stage a photo of Alexander Hoffmann, Jens Spahn and Matthias Miersch before their retreat.
  • The photo opportunity drew small demonstrations, including a paper mask referencing Jens Spahn’s mask affair and flags of the Antifaschistische Aktion.
  • Authorities say the woman now faces legal proceedings, including a charge of assaulting enforcement officers.
