Man with knife threatens police officers in Bremen

A 42-year-old man allegedly approached police officers in Bremen's Hastedt district with a knife in his hand at about 4:50 p.m. on 2 April. Officers repeatedly ordered him to put the knife down. After initially withdrawing, he approached the officers again. Police used irritant spray, and specialist officers overpowered and arrested him. Police said he had earlier fabricated an emergency call in order to attack responding officers with a knife. He was taken to a psychiatric facility for assessment, and the investigation is continuing.
