Two men face charges after violent confrontation with police in Pfungstadt

Two men were arrested on Saturday evening (December 20) after an assault on a customer car park in Eberstädter Straße, Pfungstadt. The incident, reported around 10 p.m., led to a violent confrontation with police. Both suspects now face criminal charges following the altercation.

The suspects—a 41-year-old from Pfungstadt and a 31-year-old from Darmstadt—were located near the scene shortly after the assault. When officers attempted to detain them, the 41-year-old resisted and tried to punch a 30-year-old officer. The 31-year-old also put up a fierce struggle, requiring multiple officers to subdue him.

During the confrontation, the 31-year-old sustained an injury, while the responding officers remained unharmed. Police in Darmstadt have since taken over the investigation into the incident. Both men now face multiple criminal charges in connection with the assault and their resistance to arrest.

The two suspects remain under provisional arrest as investigations continue. Authorities have not yet released further details about the initial assault or the extent of the 31-year-old’s injuries. The case will proceed through the criminal justice system in Darmstadt.
