“Thanks to the rapid passing on of information by witnesses,” these could have been stopped and prosecuted at an early stage by the police forces deployed. “Early in the evening, a drunk, well-known person gave the Hitler salute in front of the stage on Universitätsplatz,” reported a police spokesman. The person was arrested.
At around 10:15 p.m., a drunk man injured an emergency service employee in the wrist in the area of Cathedral Square when she tried to take him to an accident assistance center. Criminal proceedings were also initiated in this case. Later that evening there was a physical altercation with another drunken person at the Bundeswehr festival site.
