A witness reported this week that the emergency exit of the S-Bahn line at Marktplatz, which could only be opened from the inside, was open and that he had seen two people come out of the exit.

The employees of the Federal Police stated that a person had already been spotted on the tracks in the morning but had not been found. The person had fled from Marktplatz station in the direction of Bahnhof Ost. They assume that this person opened the emergency exit without authorization.

The data was forwarded to the inspection service and the person was reported to the police for providing false personal details.

In front of the city police station, a patrol checked a person for an unauthorized seat in a small electric vehicle. In the course of the check, it turned out that the vehicle was not a small electric vehicle.

The city police received a report of a person harassing guests in a pizzeria. On site, a member of the municipal police explained that the man had sat down at a guest table and begged the guests for food. The man refused the pizzeria's offer to sit at an empty table and receive a free pizza in return. The man behaved aggressively towards the patrol and the members of the municipal police noticed the smell of alcohol on the man. The man did not understand the explanations as to why his behavior was disruptive. He was also only able to identify himself with a copy of an identity card. During the check, the man began to insult the patrol officers. He also jumped up and moved jerkily towards a municipal police officer with his hands raised. This attack was stopped by the three other municipal police officers. With considerable resistance, the municipal police managed to restrain the man and put him in the patrol car. The man also tried to hit a police officer with a headbutt when he tried to fasten his seatbelt. When the city police searched the man and his bag, they found a knife. The patrol took the details of the witnesses present and called for an ambulance. The man refused to take an alcohol test. The man was taken to police headquarters for further examination. On the way there, the man tried to kick the driver and began to spit, which is why he was given a spit guard. The suspect also behaved very aggressively in the custody cell. After a thorough search, the man was admitted to hospital due to the circumstances and the acute danger to himself and others, and criminal charges were brought against him.
