Randals in Gladbeck: Mayor speaks of frightening escalation!

Planetensiedlung, Marl, Deutschland - In the evening in Marl-Mitte, a chaos broke out that put the city in turmoil! At around 7:00 p.m., the situation of control slipped when burning shopping trolleys rolled through the streets and fired firecrackers and stones flew into the air. The police, fire brigade and the regulatory office were quickly on site to calm the situation. Mayor Werner Arndt mingled with the people to get an idea of the terrifying escalation.

The riot had serious consequences: rail traffic in the city center was massively affected, so that the railway temporarily blocked the section of the route. S-Bahn from Essen Hbf ended and started in Gladbeck West, which led to considerable delays and failures until 0:30 a.m. A replacement traffic on two buses has been set up to support travelers. But the spook was not over until midnight. The police took ten young men in custody, six in the planetary settlement and four on Herzlia Allee. The law enforcement officers were praised for their use.

"The escalation is terrifying," said the mayor, who described the dangerous situation as threatening. "It stayed calm for a long time, then it escalated heavily," he reported. Arndt emphasized that the fireworks were not a personal attack on him, but all the emergency services were affected. "Our youth workers were also on site, and many residents said: 'We don't want something like that.'" The police had cleared the bridge to the planet settlement and the forum plate to control the situation.
