Man in Ansbach threatens his family

A drunk man threatened his family in Ansbach on Saturday.

In a large-scale operation, officials were finally able to overwhelm the mentally disturbed man, and he was admitted to a specialist clinic, the police said on Saturday.

The emergency services were called to a residential building in the city center early on Saturday evening because, according to witnesses, a man had threatened to attack family members with a machete.

When the officers arrived, the "highly aggressive 50-year-old also directed his massive threats" at the police officers, it said.

Therefore, reinforcement and special forces were informed.

The area around the house was therefore cordoned off over a large area.

Police officers then entered the building, where they met the man on the ground floor.

The officers could have overpowered him, and he suffered a laceration on his head.

The police officers were not injured, as were the man's wife and two other family members who were present.

An alcohol test revealed a value of more than one per mille for the man, the police said.

Because he was mentally disturbed, he was placed in a specialist clinic.

It was initially unclear whether the man actually had a machete.
