Nuremberg: woman with a bleeding face 

When the police came to the scene, ten people were standing in front of the apartment building.

Among them was a 27-year-old woman whose face was bleeding.

When the police approached the perpetrator, he attacked the officers and hit them with his fists.

When the police wanted to arrest him, three other men, aged 23, 28 and 34, came to the rescue, so the police had to use pepper spray.  

It was only when more police officers arrived that the situation could be brought under control.

When the four attackers were arrested, the injured woman attacked the police to prevent her significant other from being arrested.

She was also taken into custody. 

Nuremberg: Several residents show solidarity against the police 

According to the police headquarters in Middle Franconia, other residents came to the crime scene to show solidarity with the police.

The detainees attacked the officers while they were still in the office, which is why they had to take an alcohol test.

The results and the officers' perception suggest that all five were severely drunk. 

The Fürth police station has initiated an investigation against them.

They are accused of assault, insult and attack on law enforcement officers, among other things.

Four officers were injured and some of them had to be hospitalized.

Two of them were then unable to continue their duties.
