Bensheim (dpa/lhe) - For the second time within a short period of time, investigations into physical harm have been initiated against a police officer from southern Hesse. The officer was accused of kicking a man in the genitals in Bensheim during an operation in mid-August, the police headquarters in Darmstadt announced on Friday. He had previously refused to follow the instructions of the police officers.
"Such behavior is in no way tolerable for the police," said Police Vice President Rudi Heimann about the allegations against the officer. It was only on Thursday that the police headquarters reported on an operation this week in which a police officer is said to have slapped a 26-year-old.
