Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: mass brawl among harvest workers: two arrests

Rövershagen (dpa/mv) - Three people were injured in a mass brawl in employee accommodation at a strawberry farm in Rövershagen near Rostock. A total of around 100 harvest workers were involved in the dispute on Friday evening, the police said on Saturday. A larger group of Ukrainian employees got into a fight with a group of Romanians. According to a report in the "Bild" newspaper, it was about trifles, such as broken bottles and clean-up work.

In the course of the dispute, three Romanian citizens grabbed dangerous objects and attacked the Ukrainians, the police said. Three people were injured and had to be taken to a Rostock clinic. Two of the three suspects have been identified and arrested. The criminal police have started investigations on suspicion of serious breach of the peace and dangerous bodily harm.
