A young man obviously doesn't take the corona pandemic seriously - he comes from a particularly affected region. Because he spits on a policeman, he is led away.
- The Heinsberg district of North Rhine-Westphalia is particularly affected by the corona crisis *.
- A 20-year-old from the area spat alcoholically towards the officers during a police operation.
- He also shouted: "I have Corona!"
Mönchengladbach / Munich - Despite all the drama, it still exists during the Corona crisis . The deniers. The conspiracy theorists. The simple deniers of political measures. In short: the incorrigible. The Rheinische Post even reports of a case in Heinsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia , the region most severely affected by the pandemic in Germany *. Where an infected person unknowingly circulated the virus at a carnival party. And there are already 35 fatalities by Tuesday, while more than 1200 Heinsberger patients have been diagnosed.
But none of this seems to really affect a 20-year-old from Geilenkirchen, part of the Heinsberg district. The young man is said to have played in front of police officers last Friday and spat on one of the law enforcement officers . The incident occurred in the early evening on the Republic Square in Mönchengladbach.
Corona crisis: man spits on police officers and shouts: "I have Corona!"
There the Geilenkirchener was found for the second time in two days under the influence of alcohol . As in the first case, there were other people present who had also treated themselves to one or two alcoholic drinks. A fine had already been initiated against the 20-year-old in the first incident *, and he had also been informed about the current legal situation - i.e. the ban on contact .
But that turned out to be a missed effort. Because when they meet again, the 20-year-old reacts increasingly aggressively , shouting at the police and spitting. The indication that he was putting the emergency services in danger * only incited the man even more: he spit in the direction of the law enforcement officers and drooled, spitting: "Corona! I have Corona! "
Corona crisis: snot spoon is temporarily taken into custody
One of the police officers was subsequently hit several times on the upper body and on the right elbow , which was protectively held in front of the face. He was wearing a protective mask . Nevertheless, it could not be ruled out that the saliva would end up in areas sensitive to infection such as the mouth or nose.
However, the 20-year-old continued to be inconsistent and made it clear that he would not obey a dismissal. Therefore, the police decided to take the snot temporarily into custody to prevent further crimes and administrative offenses . However, this resumed, luckily his subsequent spitting attack only defaced the patrol car.
In the subsequent survey, the man from Geilenkirchen stated that he had at least not knowingly developed Corona . Because of his filthy and unhealthy behavior, he is now looking forward to an administrative offense due to the violation of the Corona Protection Ordinance as well as an announcement due to the resistance against law enforcement officers .
