Police officer bitten in Luxembourg's Gare district: three incidents in one evening
A man bit an officer on the leg during a brawl on Avenue de la Gare on Monday evening. Two other incidents involving a drunk woman and a dangerous driver also required police intervention.
Brawl, bite and drink-driving: busy evening for Luxembourg police
L'Essentiel reports that on Monday evening, around 19:40, police officers were dispatched to Avenue de la Gare in Luxembourg to break up an altercation between two individuals. After separating them, one of the men adopted an increasingly hostile attitude towards law enforcement.
"During the intervention, this man attempted to strike an officer and bit him repeatedly on the leg. He was subsequently subdued by police," the police stated in their bulletin on Tuesday. Deemed a danger to others and to himself, the individual was placed in custody following a medical examination, and a report was filed.
Earlier in the day, around 17:30, officers had already been called to intervene in Esch-sur-Alzette, rue de l'Alzette, where a woman refused to settle her bill at an establishment. On arrival, they found a person "manifestly drunk who was shouting and refusing to pay". Faced with her increasing resistance, she too was placed in custody after a medical examination.
Late in the evening, a third incident required police attention: a driver under the influence of alcohol collided with a tree and a parked vehicle at Place du Parc in Bonnevoie, before fleeing the scene. Officers located him shortly afterwards on rue du Stade in Luxembourg-Belair. A breathalyser test proved positive, his driving licence was withdrawn and a report was drawn up.
