Hesse: Prevented drone flight: owner and police officer injured

Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - When trying to prevent a drone from flying over the Frankfurt Christmas market, the owner of the device and a police officer were injured. Both suffered cuts on their hands, police said on Sunday. Accordingly, the officials noticed a man who apparently made the drone clear for the start over the Christmas market. Due to a lack of permission, the patrol prohibited the 60-year-old from starting. According to the information, the device, which was switched to stand-by mode, still took off thirty centimeters high, tumbled and got out of control. The owner and a police officer then tried to hold it with their hands and injured themselves. The incident happened on Friday evening.
