Wanted driver injures police officers and flees from Kaufland parking lot!
A dramatic incident occurred on Saturday evening in the Kaufland parking lot in Hildesheim. A 31-year-old man, who was wanted on an arrest warrant, was identified through the attentive intervention of a witness. They informed the police at 7:30 p.m., who immediately arrived to check the wanted man. But what happened next exceeded the emergency services' expectations.
When the police arrived, the man they were looking for was already behind the wheel of his vehicle. Suddenly he accelerated, drove backwards and injured a 25-year-old police inspector by driving over his foot. The police officer tried to stop the driver by reaching into the open window, but was dragged and fell several meters to the ground. The man took advantage of the opportunity and sped away, despite a manhunt that was immediately launched with several patrol cars.
Injured police officer and search for witnesses
The injured police officer was taken to hospital but was released on Sunday night. He is temporarily unable to work. While the incident was unfolding, the parking lot was busy, making the situation even more explosive. The police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident to call 05121/939-115 to shed light on the matter.
No information has yet been released about the reasons for the arrest warrant against the 31-year-old. This remains a mystery that investigators are trying to solve. What is clear is that any police operation, such as checking vehicles, requires effective procedures, but it is not always certain that this will go smoothly. Many drivers, especially if they are under the influence of alcohol or are wanted by the police, may react nervously, which can lead to such drastic actions.
Legal consequences
In general, running away from the police has serious legal consequences. According to the information on bussgeldkatalog.org Drivers who ignore a stop requirement can expect a fine of 70 euros and one point in Flensburg. In the case of novice drivers, this can even lead to measures during the probationary period. If violent resistance occurs, fines or imprisonment can be imposed if it is directed against an official.
The background to this particular incident continues to be investigated by the investigative authorities. It remains to be hoped that the wanted man will be caught soon and the circumstances that led to this dangerous incident can be clarified. Situations like this make it clear how important road safety and the protection of our emergency services are.
For residents and everyone who happened to be at the Kaufland parking lot, this incident remains a disturbing event that provides cause for reflection on safety and behavior in conflict situations.
