Drunk man harasses passers-by: Police arrest man in Neustrelitz
A significant incident occurred on Tuesday morning in Neustrelitz when an drunken man harassed passers-by. At around 9:45 a.m. the first report was made to police headquarters that the 41-year-old Polish citizen was noticed on Strelitzer Strasse. Witnesses reported that not only was he urinating, but he was also suspected of committing a theft at a nearby shoe store, like Strelitzius and the Northern Courier report consistently.
An initial breath alcohol measurement showed a value of 2.85 per mille. Despite the police measures, the man showed a lack of understanding and was ultimately taken into custody at police headquarters until late in the afternoon. But this wouldn't be the last time the authorities would have to deal with him.
A second incident that same evening
That same evening, around 9:20 p.m., the rescue control center received another incident report. The same man was spotted again, this time harassing several people in the city area. At the time of his appointment, he had an elevated breath alcohol level of 3.13 per mille. He was then taken to the hospital in an ambulance to treat his alcohol poisoning.
The incidents highlight the problem of alcohol abuse in Germany. According to a study, every German consumes an average of around 12 liters of pure alcohol annually, and the impact on society is enormous. Over 15% of the population engage in risky consumption, which not only causes individual health problems, but also entails economic costs of around 57 billion euros annually Statista represents.
The effects on younger people are particularly alarming: many young people consume alcohol in risky quantities, which is encouraged, among other things, by access to alcoholic drinks such as alcopops. According to current statistics, thousands of children and young people between the ages of 10 and 19 suffer from acute alcohol poisoning every year, underscoring the urgency of a comprehensive discussion about alcohol availability and consumption.
This incident in Neustrelitz is not just an isolated story, but part of a larger issue that affects all age groups. While society often associates alcohol with positive experiences, such incidents call for reflection on consumption and the risks associated with it.
