Family dispute escalates in Erding: police officer brutally attacked!

An unexpected family dispute in Erding escalated on Sunday afternoon when a 26-year-old man became violent when the police arrived. At around 1:20 p.m. his parents sought help and contacted the police to receive support in dealing with their mentally disturbed and aggressive son. The Erding police immediately sent a patrol to the scene, as Süddeutsche reports.

When the officers arrived on scene, the son was in his room. The situation seemed tense, so the officers first spoke to the parents. Suddenly the young man stormed towards the officers, which made the situation significantly worse. The 25-year-old police officer had to defend herself and pushed him away. But that only resulted in him spitting in her face and hitting her with his fist, as idowa adds.

Police operation with consequences

Amid the massive resistance, the situation was extremely challenging for the officers. Together they managed to bring the aggressive man to the ground and tie him up. Due to the injuries that both the officer and her colleague sustained during the operation, both went to the hospital. They will be unable to work for the next few days, which will further impact the already strained police department.

The 26-year-old was ultimately admitted to a psychiatric clinic because he was endangering himself and others. According to the authorities, it is regrettable that violence is too often used against emergency services. Despite the stressful situation, officers showed professionalism and successfully handled the incident.

The investigation findings highlight the importance of taking appropriate and timely action in such domestic conflicts to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The police have already announced that they will continue to take vigilant and preventive action against such incidents.
