Hamburg (dpa) - A video about a disproportionate Corona police operation in Hamburg's Jenischpark has made waves on the Internet.
The Hamburg police now want to work it up internally, as they announced.
«That has to be evaluated.
But we don't do that within five minutes, ”said police spokesman Holger Vehren on Friday to the German Press Agency in Hamburg.
The officers deployed are now to be questioned and checked to see whether there are any other videos with a different perspective in order to better assess the case.
The «Bild» newspaper had previously reported.
The video posted by a visitor to the park on Twitter shows how a patrol car with a siren and flashing lights follows a young person who is fleeing.
The car initially swerves with the rear to the left and barely scrapes past two running officers.
Then it drives over a bump and appears to lose part of the sub-floor.
It also looks as if the distance between the fugitive and the vehicle is sometimes only a few centimeters.
"Yes, that looks dangerous," said Vehren.
In addition, there was recognizable damage to the police vehicle.
If a hazardous situation cannot be ruled out, the driver could face consequences.
At first Vehren could not say what it could be.

According to the information, the use on Monday came after calls from residents and passers-by.
In the presence of the police officers, the later fugitive had "quite consciously" hugged his acquaintances and applauded.
Therefore, he should be checked - in the meantime, however, he fled.
"For us it is then not an option to say: If he runs away, we will do nothing," said the police spokesman.
The escape suggested that he had something to hide.
Administrative offense proceedings have now been initiated against the young person because he had not adhered to the Corona distance rules.
Jenischpark is considered a hotspot, in which young people who drink often often found each other without distance and with loud music and also rioted.
That is why regular checks are carried out there.
