Nuremberg (dpa / lby) – The arrest of a man wanted with an arrest warrant created scenes in Nuremberg that were ready for film. When police officers had the door to the 34-year-old’s apartment opened by a locksmith, the man fled through a small window on the roof of the apartment building in Südstadt on Saturday morning, according to a police spokeswoman.
Then he tried to avoid arrest by jumping onto other roofs. The fire brigade set up a jumping mat because the 34-year-old was said to be in danger of slipping again and again.
In order not to lose sight of the man, police officers climbed onto a fire brigade turntable ladder, and a police helicopter was also used.
According to the police, the 34-year-old gave up after about an hour. He was unharmed and was then taken to a correctional facility, it said.
