Furthermore, he is accused of threatening the 23-year-old with a pocket knife. Since the 22-year-old did not comply with the instructions of the intervening police officers and behaved aggressively, physical force had to be used during the arrest. The pocket knife and the vodka bottle were secured. A conducted alcohol test showed a level of 3 per mille. The man is currently in police custody.
