Aggressive mob in Schwerin: Police officer unconscious after being kicked!
On the night of last Saturday there was a violent incident in Schwerin that brought both police officers and civilians into the spotlight. There, around 15 to 20 people got into an argument that quickly escalated. How radiorsg.de Reportedly, police officers tried to mediate the situation, but soon had to fear for their own safety.
Attack on the police
The 28-year-old police officer was brutally attacked by one of those involved during the operation and received several kicks in the face, which led to a brief loss of consciousness. Two other officers were also injured when the thugs' aggression suddenly turned on police as they tried to separate two men from the group. Another attacker pushed the injured man against a wall before he was finally brought to the ground.
The situation escalated further when another perpetrator involved in the arrest also kicked the officers in the head. The injured police officer's 27-year-old patrol partner rushed to his aid and was able to fend off further attacks while additional police officers carried out intervention measures nearby.
Arrests and legal consequences
After the incident, two 22-year-old German suspects were identified and temporarily arrested. During the arrest itself, there were further attacks that injured two other police officers, aged 25 and 31. As a result, numerous proceedings were initiated, including for grievous bodily harm, resistance to law enforcement officers and physical attacks, such as hrr-strafrecht.de highlights.
According to Section 113 of the Criminal Code, resisting law enforcement officers is a serious crime. The aggression, which can be both physical and verbal, is subject to a strict penalty range of between three months and five years in prison, depending on the severity of the offense and the injuries to the officers. In addition, the intentional act is a prerequisite for criminal prosecution - negligence is not sufficient here.
Legal classification
According to legal regulations, any physical attack on police officers is considered a serious breach of their official duties. The behavior of the suspects described could be viewed as a “physical attack in accordance with Section 114 of the Criminal Code”. This paragraph provides that any hostile contact with the body of an officer is subject to criminal prosecution. In recent years, both prison sentences and psychiatric commitments have been imposed in similar cases, such as the BGH decision of June 11, 2020, which illustrate the serious nature of such attacks.
It remains to be seen how the legal consequences for the suspects will develop. In any case, the Schwerin case is another example of the difficulties police officers face in the line of duty and the important role that legal assistance plays in such situations anwalt.de determines.
