Wuerzburg. The Würzburg police were called to a restaurant on Wednesday because two apparently drunk men were rioting there. This was announced by a spokesman on Thursday. One of the two put up massive resistance to the subsequent police measures. He was overpowered using direct force and taken into custody.

When the first patrol team from the Würzburg-Stadt police station arrived at the site on Haugerpfarrgasse shortly before 4:30 p.m., witnesses drew attention to the two rioters who had left the restaurant in the meantime and run away across Barbarossaplatz in the direction of Reisgrubengasse. Both were apparently intoxicated, but refused to carry out a breath alcohol test. In the course of the investigation of the facts, it became known that one of the two allegedly attacked and slightly injured a host in the restaurant.
The two 46 and 51-year-old men also behaved aggressively towards the police forces and refused to disclose their personal details. The older man resisted the following measures, which served to establish his identity. He kicked an officer’s leg and then had to be subdued using direct force. According to witnesses, he too is said to have been the one who attacked the innkeeper and injured his ear.
Both men were subsequently taken into custody to prevent further crimes and for their own protection because of the alcohol consumption. Since the older man threatened to bite and spit, a so-called “spit protection hood” was also used when he was taken into custody. He continued to insult the officers and even threatened one of them with death.
After obtaining a court order, both men spent the night of Thursday in a detention cell at the Würzburg-Stadt police station. The 51-year-old now has to answer in a criminal investigation.
