Arrest drama in Lübeck: Woman injured in police action!
On Thursday, October 17, 2025, there were several arrests by the federal police in Kiel and Lübeck, which were made necessary by outstanding arrest warrants. Among those arrested is a 56-year-old woman who injured herself during her arrest in Lübeck. According to reports, the woman had previously reported an incomprehensible situation via the emergency call and was aware of the outstanding fine of 300 euros that had been imposed on her for insulting her. Despite this knowledge, however, she was unwilling to pay the fine.
When she was arrested, she lay on the ground and ultimately had to be carried to the police station along with her luggage. There she hit her head on the ground several times, resulting in a head injury. After an examination in a clinic, she was taken to a correctional facility to begin her alternative prison sentence. The details of this arrest were reported by KN Online, among others, who also emphasize that the woman's behavior during the stop was unusual and gave particular cause for concern.
Additional arrests in Schleswig-Holstein
These events are not isolated. There were further arrests in Kiel and Lübeck the weekend before. A 59-year-old Pole who had an arrest warrant for violating the Freedom of Movement Act was arrested at Kiel Central Station. Since he was unable to pay the required fine of 2,700 euros, he was also taken to a correctional facility. A 35-year-old Slovakian was also arrested that day, but was lucky enough to be able to pay the required fine of 375 euros and was therefore released.
On September 7, 2025, the federal police received a report at Lübeck Central Station about a dog that was harassing travelers. The dog owner, a 34-year-old Czech, was obviously in trouble - he was under an arrest warrant for a sexual offense and could not pay the ordered fine of 500 euros, which is why he was also taken into custody. His dog was temporarily taken to an animal shelter. In these cases, the Federal Police emphasizes its responsibility to ensure both the safety of passengers and order in rail traffic, thereby demonstrating its wide range of tasks.
Prison statistics in Germany
In order to better understand the situation of those arrested, it is worth taking a look at the latest statistics on the penal system in Germany. According to a report by the Federal Statistical Office, which was published on December 11, 2024, numerous people were recorded in correctional facilities on the reference date of March 31, 2024, the origins and structures of which are precisely documented. The data collected is part of a comprehensive study that is regularly provided by the statistical offices of the federal states.
For the Federal Police, which has around 2,600 employees, it remains a challenge to do justice to the various tasks. Be it border police protection or railway police measures, the safety of citizens has the highest priority. These arrests demonstrate that even minor incidents can quickly lead to major legal consequences and highlight the need for a worthwhile dialogue between authorities and the public.
Further details about the police's tasks and statistics can be found on the respective websites, including the pages of KN Online and the press portal as well as the statistics from Destatis.
