Around ten people were involved in the altercation in Essen’s southeast district, a police spokesman said upon request. Eyewitnesses said there were 30 people involved.
Confusing situation because of many onlookers
The police do not confirm this. There were many onlookers. This gave the impression that the number of people who attacked each other was larger.
Three people were injured by an irritant gas that was sprayed during the fight. They suffered eye irritation. During the operation, police seized tools such as crowbars, an axe, hammer and bolt cutters.
Tools found in vehicles
These items were located in vehicles that were parked in the area of the dispute. But they were not used in the fight. Why this even happened is still unclear.
