Berlin-Neukölln - Mass brawl at school: Headmistress's hand broken

Many people have been injured in a mass brawl between pupils, teachers and police officers at a school in Berlin-Neukölln.

Other teachers and police officers were also attacked. Pupils also sprayed pepper spray, so that a total of 49 children, young people and teachers suffered irritation and were treated by paramedics. According to the police, the reason for the escalated conflict is said to have been rather banal, it was not about politics.

At around 10.30 a.m., a fight broke out at the school in Efeuweg between two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old pupil on one side and two other boys on the other. One pupil sprayed irritant gas, but ran into the gas cloud himself, an opponent got hold of the spray and attacked the other group with it. Another 15-year-old joined in and the brawl escalated.

Two teachers who intervened were also sprayed. The principal was so injured that she was later taken to hospital. Several alerted police officers calmed the situation somewhat, but were then attacked by a 21-year-old brother of a pupil with a punch. Police officers overpowered the brother, who insulted and threatened them. The case is being investigated for assaulting police officers, threatening, insulting and causing grievous bodily harm.
