The suspects are said to have rioted in front of a nightclub on the night of February 17, throwing iron bars, glass bottles, brooms and shovels at police officers. Five police officers were injured in the attack. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) was shocked after the attacks.

As the police announced, police officers searched the homes of nine suspects on Wednesday who are said to have been involved in the riots. It was about securing evidence.

The police said the investigation into the matter was ongoing. They are being conducted against two suspects on suspicion of assaulting police officers and bodily harm and against ten suspects on suspicion of serious breach of the peace, assault on police officers and dangerous bodily harm.
