According to police spokesman Frank Linkens, officers were called to the residential area at 6 p.m. They first tried to talk to the resident who was in a “very high” state of mind. But they eventually took him to headquarters around 9 p.m. Police have not provided further details at this time.
However, Linkens has strongly denied the rumors circulating on the site and social media that night: there was speculation about a possible kidnapping, among other things. “There was never any danger to third parties,” said the police spokesman.
