Knetzgau (dpa/lby) - A mentally ill man smashed the windows of several cars with an iron bar on Tuesday in Lower Franconia. The man from Knetzgau (Hassberge district) first rioted in his apartment and then went naked onto the street, the police said. There he is said to have reacted to everything that came his way. A garden fence, a wooden bench and a house facade were demolished. He smashed the windows or jumped on the hoods of at least five parked cars.
When police arrived, the man continued to be aggressive. The officers had to overpower him with pepper spray. The man was taken to a psychiatric hospital because of his apparent mental illness. The damage is said to be more than 10,000 euros.
