Police officers attacked - Enforcement of arrest warrant Wiesbaden, Wagemannstraße, Saturday, 13.09.2025, 05:30 AM (pk) On Saturday morning around 05:30 AM, police were called to Wagemannstraße in Wiesbaden after a 25-year-old man lost his jacket in a bar and became verbally aggressive towards the staff. The responding officers found the heavily intoxicated man outside the bar, explained the situation to him, and directed him to the bar's regular opening hours. They then returned to the station. Shortly after, the 25-year-old appeared at the police station and repeated his story. Despite repeated explanations from the officers, he remained uncooperative and did not comply with a issued ban. When the ban was finally enforced, the man resisted and had to be taken into custody, slightly injuring a 24-year-old officer. It was also discovered that the man had an outstanding arrest warrant and he was subsequently taken to jail.

He had been dissatisfied with the service and ignored the staff's instructions to leave. The responding officers tried to explain to the man that the staff could not help him at that moment, but he remained uncooperative even after being issued a ban. When the officers tried to escort him out, he resisted and had to be restrained, slightly injuring a 31-year-old officer. He also attempted to spit at another officer.
