- Police are investigating a stinking substance in the stairwell.
In the Teltow-Fläming district, the police have launched an investigation due to a foul-smelling substance in a multi-family dwelling. They are now investigating the case as suspected dangerous bodily harm, as reported. The AfD spoke of an attack on an AfD election campaign worker. However, according to police statements, there were no indications that the introduction of the substance into the building in Zossen was targeted at a specific apartment or person.
In the morning, residents reported to the police that unauthorized access to the stairwell had apparently been gained and that there was a strong unpleasant odor, as reported. Firefighting forces then examined the stairwell for possible hazardous substances. Furthermore, equipment for ventilating the stairwell was deployed.
Initial investigations suggest that the unpleasant smell was already noticed by a witness the previous evening. She then complained of feeling unwell. According to the reports, all present residents were examined by rescue services, but no injuries were found.
After the unpleasant incident, residents decided to cancel their planned neighborhood party out of precaution. Despite the ongoing investigation, the local community center announced that they would postpone their upcoming party events until further notice.
