Riots on the Federal Terrace of Bern! Late on Saturday night, the Bern canton police received a report that objects were being thrown into the rooms below from the federal terrace.
Then a civil police patrol left. When they arrived at the scene around 11pm, the plainclothes police officers encountered a fight between several people on the steps from the Bundesplatz to the Bundesterrasse.
300 people were expelled from the federal terrace
The police finally managed to break up the discussion. Pepper spray was also used briefly, as the Bern canton police wrote in a message. At this time, it is estimated that there were more than 300 predominantly teenagers or young adults on the federal terrace.
After it was determined that the applicable guidelines for protection against the coronavirus were largely not met, it was decided to vacate the federal terrace and ask those present to leave the place.
Additional patrols were called in to provide support. Those present finally complied with the request. The mission ended around 0.30 am. A younger man allegedly involved in the dispute was temporarily transferred to a police station for further clarification. The suspect was allowed to leave the police station around midnight.
