The house in the Vieritz district in Brandenburg is still surrounded, the situation remains unchanged, it said. The small town is located about 20 kilometers northwest of Brandenburg an der Havel on the border with Saxony-Anhalt.
The police had moved out on Friday afternoon with a large contingent to the house, in which, according to initial findings, two men, a child and a woman were staying at the time. The trigger for the operation was therefore a decision of the local court, suggested by the Youth Welfare Office. Because of the presumed endangerment of the child's welfare, special police units were also on site. One of the men was arrested on Friday evening when he left the house armed. During the night, the mother also came out of the building to hand over the child to the Youth Welfare Office. According to the police, shots were fired from the house. No one was injured. Many details are still unclear at the moment. Dpa
