Unusual Facts - Men engage in a scuffle during a Pokémon duel in Hoyerswerda.

In a virtual Pokémon arena in Hoyerswerda (part of Bautzen), there was a confrontation between two men lately. The assumption is that one man defeated the opponent's Pokémon and seized the area, causing strong anger of the other man. The police shared this information on Monday. As a result, the fight moved from the virtual world to the physical one with two men aged 52 and 50 getting into a physical fight.

This incident occurred on Sunday when both men visited the police station. They are now being investigated for different charges, with the 52-year-old being suspected of causing bodily harm and the 50-year-old being suspected of making threats. The police stated that they managed to end the situation involving the arena occupation. However, their statement mentions that it wasn't due to any crime-related laws but simply because of disagreements in "Pokémon activities".

Pokémon is all about hunting and training creatures. The name comes from "Pocketmonster" or "pocket monsters". The game gained popularity through Nintendo's video games.
