Rastatt: Severe alcoholized men end in custody after dispute

Rastatt (ots)

In the tranquil Rastatt, an incident occurred on Thursday afternoon that was surprising for many. An initially verbal argument between two men, 29 and 31 years old, quickly escalated into a palpable confrontation. The incident occurred in Kapellenstrasse, a place that is usually known for its calm. A clear indication of the intensity of the conflict was the significant alcoholization of both involved, which undoubtedly played a role in the escalation.

At around 4 p.m., the younger of the two men, initially aimed at himself, turned against his opponent with a broken glass bottle. It was a rash act that caused him not only himself, but also his counterpart, the 31-year-old, serious injuries. The older instinctive instinctively tried to defend himself, which resulted in a cut on his arm. Such scenarios are never pleasant, but they show how dangerous clashes can become, even if they initially remain verbal.

Intervention of the police

When the alarmed officials from the police station Rastatt arrived, the situation was already very tense. The 29-year-old, who was still driven by aggression, turned against the police. In order to de -escalate the situation, the authorities used pepper spray to overwhelm the man and to take custody. This shows that emergency services often face unexpected challenges, especially if they are faced with aggressive people.

However, the incident was not without further consequences. During the treatment of his injuries in a local hospital, the 29-year-old continued to behave extremely uncooperatively and threatened with further acts of violence. Because of his behavior, the police decided to take him in custody until the following morning to ensure security. The 31-year-old, who was also injured, also had to be taken to the hospital, which underlines physical violence in this discussion.

The public prosecutor has already initiated investigations into dangerous bodily harm. Such criminal steps are important to clarify the background and, if necessary, take further measures. It remains to be seen how the legal consequences for the two men will develop, which do not only harm themselves, but also others.
