Aggressive attack in the main train station: man threatens bank employee!

Essen – Bottrop– An outbreak of aggression shook the main train station in Essen yesterday! A 30-year-old Syrian confronted the employee of a travel bank in a threatening manner and let his anger out. At 12:50 p.m., the federal police received alarming information about the man's aggressive behavior. The 32-year-old employee was forced to activate the silent alarm while the man approached her and verbally threatened her.

When the police arrived, the danger grew: the accused vehemently refused to cooperate and offered considerable resistance. Despite repeated requests from the federal police officer, the man continued to behave aggressively. During the search attempts, the situation escalated and the officers finally had to bring the Bottrop man to the ground and restrain him. “The aggression continued to increase,” an official reported. Even during the arrest, the man resisted, which posed a major challenge to the emergency services.

Consequences of the dispute

The man's identity was clarified on site, but his motive for the threatening act and subsequent resistance to the officers remained unclear. During the action, the suspect injured his shoulder, which prompted officers to call an ambulance. After an initial examination, the 30-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital.

The consequences for the Syrian are serious: The federal police have initiated an investigation into resistance against law enforcement officers and threats. A police officer injured his arm during the arrest, but remained fit for duty. The echo of these dramatic scenes in the main station will resonate for a long time!
