Rude overtaking driver causes cyclist to fall
3. August: Cyclists and motorcyclists should actually have a 360-degree view, or alternatively constantly look in the rearview mirror – if they have one. If the two older pedelec riders had had a rearview mirror on their e-bike, they would probably have seen the rowdy who overtook them when turning. The 72-year-old cyclist and her 60-year-old companion wanted to turn left into a parking lot on the road from Inning to Stegen and had therefore positioned themselves correctly in the middle of the road. The driver, who was probably driving a small van or van, did not pay attention to the left-turning vehicles and overtook them. The cyclist was so frightened when overtaking that she fell and fractured her face. Her companion also fell off his bike, but was only slightly injured. There does not appear to have been any contact with the car. The accident happened on Saturday at around 11 a.m. The Herrsching police station is asking for witnesses to call 08152/9302-0.

Disturbed man attacks police officer on transport ride
June 18: Last week, a 32-year-old mentally ill man from Seefeld was to be transported to the psychiatric clinic in Gauting. For safety reasons, a policewoman accompanied the transport in the ambulance. Another officer followed the ambulance in the patrol car. On the way in Eichenallee in Seefeld, the patient suddenly no longer agreed with his impending placement in the clinic, he unbuckled his seatbelt and wanted to get out. The driver of the BRK vehicle had no choice but to stop. When the Seefeld patient jumped out of the van, he met the second policewoman, who was initially able to back away from him, but then fell to the ground. The man beat her in this helpless position with his hands and fists and hit her in the face. Her colleague from the ambulance tried to stop the man with her baton, but unfortunately was unsuccessful. Only with the combined efforts of another citizen was it possible to pull the violent patient away from the defenseless policewoman and hold him. The officer was injured and is currently unfit for duty. She is receiving medical treatment, the mentally ill man was then handcuffed by other police officers from other departments and taken to the hospital. During the operation, there were traffic jams on the state road. The police are now investigating the Seefeld man for intentional bodily harm and an assault on police officers. Experts and judges will then decide on his sanity.
