Man draws folding knife during police operation at Bad Kreuznach fair

At the Bad Kreuznach fair, a 39-year-old man drew a folding knife on Saturday evening after an earlier dispute and assault, then turned towards a police patrol with it. The officers ordered him to put down the knife while holding their service weapons ready. He fled, threw the knife over a construction fence and was later arrested. Police said he put up significant resistance during the arrest, slightly injuring two officers, who were able to continue duty. A Taser was used and the man was temporarily taken into custody.
