Fuldatal (dpa/lhe) - Two women and two police officers were slightly injured in an operation after domestic violence in Fuldatal (Kassel district). The officials went to the house with a 21-year-old woman and an employee of the same age from a women's shelter to get personal belongings. According to the police on Monday, the 24-year-old husband and four relatives blocked the way there. The husband hit a police officer in the face with his fist. He was arrested and also slightly injured.
