Man threatens federal police officers with knife at Bielefeld central station

A 33-year-old man is alleged to have repeatedly told federal police officers at Bielefeld central station during the night of 16 August that he had a knife in his pocket. He reached into his trouser pocket while making the claim. Officers restrained and handcuffed him, but found no knife during the subsequent search. Proceedings for making threats were opened against him. He later allegedly offered officers money to have those proceedings dropped, leading to further proceedings for attempted bribery.
