Presumably a harmless bell stroke triggered a mass brawl in Sinsheim-Steinsfurt.
According to the police, a dispute between neighbors has been smoldering for some time in an apartment building in the town in the Rhein-Neckar district, which has now escalated.
Five people in the hospital
On Friday evening this argument then degenerated into a brawl.
About 20 people were involved in the altercation, which shifted from the house to the street.
Other residents therefore called the police.
A large contingent of police officers, guard dogs and paramedics had to move in to end the escalating quarrels.
Five people were injured so badly that they had to be treated in hospitals, the police said on Saturday night.
