It is around 8:15 am when a police siren erupts on a peaceful Monday morning in Zurich’s Werdstrasse. An Audi tries to escape from a policeman on a motorcycle. The maneuvers are risky. “It crashed almost twice until the officer succeeded and approached the Audi with his motorcycle,” witness Ueli T. * (35) tells BLICK. When the Audi finally comes to a stop, the officer draws his gun and yells, “If I say stop, it also means stop!”
The situation seems to be under control. But far from that: at the wheel of the Audi is Rafael L. * (24), who does not like the police very much. He can still be handcuffed and cooperates at first. “I’ve been sleeping in the car for a week,” residents heard him yell. Then all of a sudden he starts running, leaving the passenger, his husky and the police officer in shock. “I just couldn’t keep up with him. He was wearing his motorcycle gear, ”says Julia T. * (34), another resident.
Not the first escape from the police
The bound fugitive appears to have been swallowed by the ground for almost three hours! Officers comb the area, to no avail. The police asked the population to search for a “man in handcuffs.” Shortly after 11 in the morning, Rafael L. became a police station. What they don’t know: The young man ran to his mother, she sent him to the post office, as MIRAR says.
It is not the first time that the Aargau resident has had problems with the police. VIEW investigation shows: Last year attacked a police officer at Bremgarten AG. At the Algiers bus stop, he suddenly hit an officer on the back of the head with his fist. While the officer was injured, the then 23-year-old fled.
But shortly after, he was arrested. Neighbors remember the police operation at Oberlunkhofen AG at that time. When the agents surrounded the house and wanted to enter, the young man escaped through a window. However, he only got a few meters, was overwhelmed and stopped.
Mother advised him to stand up
On August 13, 2020, he received another visit from the police. This time it was about the eviction of Rafael L. and his girlfriend from the apartment. To the delight of the neighbors: they constantly report a difficult relationship with the Audi driver and his girlfriend.
The lease was the responsibility of Aargauer’s mother. She is disappointed in her son. “She’s actually a good boy,” she tells BLICK. But: “You just don’t learn your lesson.” It is probably true that your child had to sleep in the car for a week. “I allowed it, yes. So you can see how it is when I don’t pay you everything, “she explains.
The problem is that the young man never had to face the consequences of his actions. “When the policeman was attacked in Bremgarten, he escaped with almost no penalty. I think it was a mistake, ”he says. “I told him to turn himself in immediately.” In the end, she says, “I hope you learn your lesson this time.”
One can wait: according to the Zurich city police, Rafael L. has already been released.
