Heidenheim: Drunk bites police officers in the hand

First, two brothers smash the inventory of a restaurant, then they attack the police: They spit on the officers, one of the rioters bites an officer in the hand.

VA few weeks ago a man bit a service dog – that was in Ginsheim-Gustavsburg in Hesse. Now another biting message is doing the rounds: After a fight in a restaurant in Heidenheim an der Brenz in Baden-Württemberg, one of the rioters bit a police officer in the hand. He also spat on the officers and tried a headbutt, the police said.

The 34-year-old and his 29-year-old brother smashed the inventory of the restaurant early on Sunday morning and attacked the guests for reasons that are not yet clear. They overpowered the two drunks and held them until police arrived. “While the 29-year-old was arrested without resistance, his brother decided to take the fight to the police,” the police said in a statement.

Two officers were slightly injured. The older brother suffered a laceration on his head and remained in the hospital for the time being. His transport to the hospital was only successful after the emergency doctor had sedated him. The 29-year-old man spent the night in the detention cell.
