“Ffm aktuell” posted two videos of the incredible scenes on Instagram: a man in a red hoodie can be seen attacking the cops. It looks like you are spraying some substance on it. The policeman gets into his car. Amid occasional shouting and applause, officers attempt to lead a man to his car in a second video. They are stoned with objects, harassed, insulted.
There is speculation on social media that it was a matter of controlling a mask rejecter, according to the Frankfurter Rundschau. The police did not confirm this. It is also incorrect that the pepper spray was stolen from an officer.

A spokeswoman: “At 10 pm there was a patrol at the Zeil. A physical argument broke out between two men. When the officers tried to find out the identity, one of the men resisted. One of the policemen (27) tried to arrest the man, he was attacked himself and fell with him. As a result, some 25 youths attacked the officers, throwing stones and bottles at them. The policewoman (24) was attacked with pepper spray. The officers called for reinforcements and began to withdraw. The man who was originally supposed to be searched threw himself in front of the police car, hung onto the outside mirror, which he thankfully dropped. The officers left. When reinforcements arrived, the young men had fled. “
