Driver Attacked Police Officers During Escape

Through the radio announcement of a person description, other arriving units were able to stop a man matching the description at the intersection of Leystraße/Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. The 28-year-old behaved extremely uncooperatively towards the officers, attempted to injure one of the officers with blows, and again evaded the stop. During a foot pursuit, an officer fired a warning shot into the soft ground, without endangering people or damaging property. The 28-year-old then slowed down and was eventually stopped by the officers. The man was provisionally arrested on suspicion of resisting state authority. On the orders of the public prosecutor's office, the 28-year-old was reported at large.
