Bavaria: Police officer stops attackers with firearms

Amberg (dpa / lby) - Because a 34-year-old attacked police officers in Amberg, an officer used his gun and shot the man to stop him. The officials were called because the 34-year-old pedestrian wanted to damage a speedometer, the police said on Wednesday. When the patrol arrived on Tuesday evening, the man attacked the crew, who were still sitting in the patrol car. The 34-year-old took a massive boulder and hit the police vehicle with it. He first damaged the windshield and then attacked the passenger side. The driver of the patrol car finally stopped the man by shooting his arm out of the car. The man came to a hospital. He is now being investigated, among other things, on suspicion of assaulting law enforcement officials.
