Over the weekend, the 30-year-old suspect is said to have inappropriately touched a woman several times on Saturday night inside a club. After the incident was reported to security, they dragged the man outside and expelled him from the club. The man violently resisted the security guards, and at one point, he broke a bottle and attacked one of the employees with it.
The security guards were able to overpower the man and restrain him until police arrived, according to the Mittlebayerische newspaper.
However, his behavior did not end there. Once inside the Bad Kötzting police station, the 30-year-old Tunisian suspect began to kick and damage furniture inside the station. Officers restrained him and put him inside a holding cell.
A public prosecutor in Regensburg ordered a blood sample taken to test for alcohol and narcotics.
The suspect was released on Sunday morning. He has been charged with sexual harassment, resisting arrest, assault, and property damage.
Notably, since the man is a dual citizen, German federal rules require that all his crimes be charged as a “German.” In response to soaring foreign crime, one German state, North Rhine-Westphalia, has begun reporting on dual citizens and their crimes. The change in reporting is notable, since millions of foreigners now have dual citizenship in Germany.
However, Bavaria has yet to take this step. Notably, North Rhine-Westphalia may be reporting this crime data for dual citizens at the state level, but it must still submit all crimes committed by dual citizens to the federal government as having been committed by a “German.”
Notably, clubs have become more aggressive places in recent years, according to arguably Germany’s most famous currently serving mayor, Tübingen’s Boris Palmer. He attributed the success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party among young voters to the consequences of mass migration, which have transformed schools, clubs, and other locations where young people gather.
“They experience what irregular migration means on a daily basis,” Palmer wrote in a Facebook post last year.
“Above all, the young men who have arrived alone are changing the living environment of young people. In the park, in the club, on the street, on the bus, at the train station, in the schoolyard,” he added.
Notably, Palmer was once a Green party mayor, but as he became known more and more for his outspokenness against mass immigration and other political taboos, the party worked to eject him. Nevertheless, he remained so popular with the people of his city that they elected him as an unaffiliated mayor, which means he is running in Tübingen independent of any political party.
