Hamburg. A shocking incident shakes the neighborhood during the European Championship! A man, armed with a homemade hammer and a Molotow cocktail, attacks police officers. The dramatic scenes take place on June 16 when around 13,000 Dutch fans pull through the streets in a party mood. Suddenly the cheerful atmosphere is broken by a shot - André G. lies bleeding on the silver sack road, hit on the leg and surrounded by emergency services.

The 39-year-old attacker from Buchholz is now in front of the Hamburg district court, where he is charged with seven serious crimes, including attempted homicide and assault on enforcement officers. However, the public prosecutor has a shocking phrase: it assumes that André G. acted in the state of inability to guilt, as the agency spokeswoman Melina Traumann explained to the Abendblatt. The process begins on November 26th and the allegations are alarming.
