At around 4 AM on Saturday, a report of a fight came in. A man allegedly struck someone at Coolsingel. When officers attempted to arrest him, he resisted violently. Even after the use of a baton, he continued to kick and hit, injuring two colleagues. One officer sought medical assistance.

After this physical resistance, an officer threatened to use a taser, but that proved unnecessary. The resistance continued until he was transported to the police station.

Violence Against Police Officers is Unacceptable

Any aggression or violence against officers is not tolerated. The police and justice system have a clear approach: reports are always taken, offenders are prioritized for prosecution, and sentences are three times higher.
