Man threatens emergency workers with knife on federal road
A 40-year-old man threatened emergency workers with a knife in an ambulance on the B62 between Merkers and Hämbach early on Tuesday evening. The ambulance stopped, after which the man fled and entered a stopped lorry. Its driver was able to leave the vehicle uninjured. Because the man also threatened other people with the knife, the federal road was closed and specialist officers were called in. Officers secured the man in the lorry and handed him to emergency services; despite resuscitation efforts, he died at the scene from self-inflicted injuries.
