Nuremberg: Young man defends himself when arrested - he had narcotics with him

The officers managed to hold the man.

When the police tried to handcuff the 23-year-old to prevent another escape, he freaked out.

He apparently lashed out so wildly that the two officers, a 31-year-old and a 23-year-old, sustained hand injuries.

The 23-year-old man carried the alleged reason for his escape with him: During his search, the officers found a small amount of narcotics on him.

Because of the suspicion of resistance and assault on law enforcement officers, an investigation is now underway against him.

The police are also investigating him on suspicion of illegal possession of narcotics.

The public prosecutor's office filed for arrest.

During the day, the 23-year-old is brought before an investigating judge to examine the question of detention.
