20-year-old attacks police officers in Rosenheim – arrest successful!
An uncontrolled outbreak of violence kept the police busy in Rosenheim on Sunday. A 20-year-old lying motionless in the blazing sun on a grass verge near the Inn dam was initially discovered by passers-by and the police were called. But when officers arrived, the situation took an unexpected turn. The young man did not respond to the officers' speech and had to be woken up. Barely on his feet, he suddenly hit a 30-year-old police officer, as the PNP reports.
When the attacker tried to tie himself up, further attacks occurred. The 20-year-old kicked a 26-year-old officer in the face, causing minor injuries to both officers. Fortunately, they did not require medical treatment. It took several patrol cars to bring the situation under control until the man was finally arrested and taken to a specialist clinic. In addition, an investigation was initiated into physical attacks on law enforcement officers.
Argument in the early morning
There was another incident in Rosenheim early in the morning, which put the police officers on alert. A 50-year-old man was attacked near the city library during a verbal argument with an unknown man. After the argument, the attacker hit the man and injured him above the eye. Details about the perpetrator are vague: He is described as around 1.80 meters tall and slim with dark blonde hair. The Rosenheim24 is looking for witness statements based on this incident and is asking for information at the telephone number provided.
The background to police violence
These incidents shed light on the increasing tensions between the population and the police. Police violence has come into focus since the tragic case of George Floyd in the USA and continues to be widely discussed. A study by the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main addresses the problem and defines police violence as excessive or inappropriate use of physical force by officers. The most common victims are young men, which also seems to reflect the incidents in Rosenheim, as some experts emphasize. These clinical outbreaks are often the result of stress, excessive demands and, in some cases, discriminatory attitudes within the police, as Deutschlandfunk shows.
In order to avoid future conflicts, reforming police training and improving internal communication is essential. These measures could help to strengthen trust between the population and law enforcement. In the current situation, it will be exciting to see what steps are taken to solve this problem.
