Man arrested after attack on police officers in Hobro
J-day took a dramatic turn in Hobro overnight into Saturday, when a 35-year-old man was arrested and subsequently held in custody for assault on a police officer, according to B.T.
The incident began at Buddy Holly, when patrolling police officers noticed disturbance around the man. When they attempted to remove him from the scene, he pushed a police officer so forcefully in the chest, according to the charge, that the officer was pushed backwards.
The man was then taken to the police station in Hobro – but the drama continued. He refused to co-operate and kicked a police officer twice in the face and attempted to headbutt. The officer sustained swelling and vision disturbances.
The man was subsequently transferred to the police station in Aalborg, where he threatened to take a police officer's service pistol.
The 35-year-old is charged under paragraph 119 of the Criminal Code for assault on persons in public service and is held in custody for four weeks. During the bail hearing on Saturday, it emerged that the man had previously been charged six times in similar cases.
