Man dies after police operation in Cologne: Investigation underway
A man has died following a police operation in an apartment building in Cologne's old town. The public prosecutor's office and police jointly announced that he had been overpowered by officers using a Taser during an operation dubbed "rioter" on Sunday night. The man, who has not yet been identified, is said to have refused to calm down outside the house and in the patrol car. An emergency doctor then arrived and administered a drug. The man then collapsed and died a few hours later in hospital, according to reports.
For reasons of neutrality, the Bonn police have reportedly taken over the investigation in coordination with the Cologne public prosecutor's office. Further details initially remained unclear.
The investigation into the man's death during the police operation has involved the collaboration of the Bonn police and the Cologne public prosecutor's office due to potential seriousness of the incident. In such emergency situations, the presence of the police is crucial to maintain law and order, especially in cases of crime and unruly behavior.
