Man threatens police with knife in Erlangen
In Erlangen, a 39-year-old man threatened to use a knife against police officers during the night of 11 September 2025. Police had previously been called because he was shouting loudly outside a flat and had issued him with an order to leave the area.
When the man later behaved aggressively again and retreated to his flat, he refused to open the door to officers. A special police unit and a negotiating team were then deployed. The man threw objects from a window onto the street before officers subdued and arrested him inside the flat. He sustained a minor injury during the intervention, received outpatient hospital treatment and was then taken to a specialist clinic.
