Officers were called out more than 60 times over scuffles, arguments or noise complaints. In most cases, the situation had already been defused by the time officers arrived on the scene, or was sorted out on the spot, police noted in their bulletin on Saturday morning.
Late on Friday afternoon, a disagreement ensued between two motorists on Rue Adolphe Fischer in the capital. According to reports, the victim then parked his car and stepped out of the vehicle, at which point two people got out of another car and struck him. The man was left with an injury to his lip. A police investigation is under way.
On Route de Thionville in Howald, police received a report at around 3pm on Friday about a heavily intoxicated person behaving erratically on a bus. The individual was also extremely agitated when officers approached him and could barely stand. He was escorted off the bus and taken to a clinic given his condition. He continued to behave erratically there and was later placed under arrest.
Overnight into Saturday, alcohol checks were also carried out in several places across the country, including the capital as well as Weiswampach, Troisvierges and Wincrange. Some 341 motorists were checked in total, and 14 drivers tested positive for alcohol. In five cases, licences were withdrawn on the spot.
