Young people riot at the fire brigade festival in Sicke - several injuries!

A fire brigade festival in Sicke, the district of Wolfenbüttel, took an unexpected turn on the night of August 31, when brutal attacks on festival goers occurred. The police Wolfenbüttel recently reported that several people were injured during the festival and that a group of young people and young adults has now come into focus.

On the said evening, between 20 and 30 young people gathered at the festival, where, according to the previous investigations, they not only gave provocative statements, but also committed physical attacks on other guests. Uninvolved were insulted and then brutally attacked. Those affected reported pain, bruises and hematomas that they had suffered during the attacks.

The incidents in detail

The situation escalated around 1:30 a.m. when a group of three men aged 37 and 38 wanted to take their way home. They were prevented from getting into their car. As a result, they were thrown to the ground by the attackers and brutally stepped. Another, just as shocking event occurred just an hour earlier when a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were attacked when leaving the festival. They too were insulted and spat on before they were finally beaten and kicked. The woman suffered a medal break that made an operation necessary.

The police assume that there may have been other attacks by the same group during the festival. The investigation also focuses on suspicion of the breach of the peace, since the attacks were apparently not only directed towards individuals, but also threatened public security as a whole.

In order to get to the bottom of the matter, the Wolfenbüttel police called the witnesses of the incident to report. Anyone who has information is asked to contact the police stations on telephone numbers 05331/9331 or 05306/932230. The clarification of these attacks is of great importance because they can influence security in the region and endanger the acceptance of public events.

The events throw a disturbing light on the fragility of our social norms, especially at events that serve the community. The brutal attacks during a fire brigade festival are not only an alarming sign, but also require a quick and appropriate intervention by the authorities.

Details on the incidents have so far been sparsely, but according to information from www.t-online.de already intensive investigations. It remains to be seen which further knowledge will come to light.
