On Saturday evening, a family dispute got completely out of hand and ended with a large-scale police operation that also involved special forces.
Ansbach – Large-scale police operation on Saturday evening, January 14, in Ansbach.
At around 7:20 p.m., the police were notified of a family dispute in a residential building on Bahnhofstrasse.

Threat situation in Ansbach due to "highly aggressive" man with machete
When they called 911 on Saturday night, officers were told that a 50-year-old man reportedly threatened family members with a machete.
The situation then escalated on site, according to the police press release: "When the first patrols of the Ansbach police arrived at the affected property, the highly aggressive 50-year-old also directed his massive threats against the officials."
Therefore, additional forces from the surrounding inspections were immediately called in - as well as special forces.
The area around the house was then cordoned off.
The units of the support command (USK) that had meanwhile arrived then entered the residential building and met the 50-year-old on the ground floor.
