Mass brawl at a ship party on Lake Hennesee

Mass brawl, stone throwing, at least five injured and a damaged passenger ship: a ship party on the Hennesee in Sauerland has gotten completely out of hand.

According to the police's initial findings, at the end of the event on Saturday night, security had expelled a person from the ship who had become conspicuous due to aggressive behavior. Some party guests who did not agree with the measure expressed solidarity with the person.

According to the police, these people threw stones from the shore at the ship, which was moored at a pier. At least five windows were broken. There were also several fights around the investor. Callers reported a fight involving 30 to 50 people.

Police operations lasted until the early hours of the morning

The police arrived with several patrol cars. The situation was very confusing, as a police spokesman described it. Fights were found in smaller and larger groups on the extensive grounds. Who fought with whom and for what reason still needs to be further investigated.
