During a police operation in Kleve on Sunday evening, a 27-year-old was injured by a shot from a police weapon.
It was used because the man from Essen is said to have hit a parked car with an object.
When police arrived, the suspect was holding a knife and threatening.
Kleve – The man did not respond to the speech.
When other officers came, he threatened them with a knife and a baton.
When he finally attacked two police officers with knives in their hands, they said they used their firearms.
"The attacker was stopped by a shot in the lower leg," reported the Krefeld police and the Kleve public prosecutor's office on Monday.
He was taken to a hospital and his life was not in danger.
