Obrigheim (dpa / lsw) - With an ax in each hand, a drunk man attacked the police when he was arrested in Obrigheim (Neckar-Odenwald district). The officers had to threaten him with the gun and use pepper spray to overpower him, the police said on Monday.
The 58-year-old had previously smashed the front door of a house, damaged a car and threatened a man. Because he drove away in his car after the incident on Saturday, the police reportedly had to search for him. After the turbulent arrest, the man was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A breath alcohol test showed around 2.3 per thousand.
