Police attacked in Rigaer Strasse: union warns

During firefighting work on Rigaer Strasse, emergency services were attacked with stones during the night.

Nobody got hurt.

The police union warns of further action in the coming days.

Berlin - During extinguishing work secured by the police on Rigaer Straße in Berlin-Friedrichshain, stones were thrown at the emergency services last night. The police said the chunks had flown from the roofs at the corner of Liebigstrasse when an emergency vehicle suddenly had to brake due to the transparent film stretched between two street signs. No one was injured, but eight stones hit the police car. It is now being investigated on suspicion of dangerous interference with road traffic. In addition, it will be checked whether the incident is related to an upcoming mission.

This means the evacuation of the left-wing alternative construction trailer camp "Köpi-Platz" in Berlin-Mitte, announced for Friday.

The police union (GdP) criticizes the action from the night.

“During the night we experienced the most serious extremist crimes, in which those responsible sometimes made a direct reference to the Köpi.

Who throws stones at people, accepts the most serious injuries and even their death approvingly ”, said Benjamin Jendro, spokesman for the GdP Berlin.

In the next few days he expected further decentralized and absolutely pointless actions in which things could be destroyed and human lives could be endangered regardless of loss.
