In Basel on Sunday night in Birsköpfli, an argument broke out between the police and celebrating teenagers and young adults. The police used irritants. Four minors were arrested.
The group was warned by the police patrol shortly before 1 am, as announced by the Department of Justice and Security of the canton of Basel-Stadt. The 50 or more people listened to loud music and “screamed.”
When the police officers observed the situation, they were “suddenly insulted and provoked”. They were attacked verbally and sometimes physically.
Accused of police violence and racism
Police officers conducted an initial identity check. This was recorded by passersby with cell phones. In addition, the police officers were accused of “police violence, racism and the like”, as the message says. The police asked those present to keep their distance, which was ignored.
Because the group had become increasingly aggressive and repeatedly disrupted controls, the police briefly used irritants to protect themselves and summoned other members of the police. Then the police were able to defuse the situation, he said.
Four minors detained
A total of two women and four men between the ages of 16 and 18 underwent a more detailed identity check. The four minors were arrested. They are accused of bodily injury, violence and threats against authorities and public servants, as well as preventing an official act and hindering their functions.
