Police Investigate Halloween Firebombs and Stone Attack in Kiel, Germany
Police in Kiel are investigating incidents involving homemade firebombs, stones thrown at a moving car and children threatened with a knife during Halloween celebrations.
In Mettenhof, groups numbering up to 70 people repeatedly set off fireworks. Two firebombs were ignited in an unoccupied parking area and a paper container. An attempt to ignite motor oil poured onto a footpath failed.
Seven youths were taken to the Mettenhof police station as a preventive measure and handed over to their guardians.
On Ostring around 7:50 p.m., stones thrown from an underpass struck a moving car’s windshield. Police provisionally detained three youths and seized their phones before releasing them to their guardians.
In Friedrichsort around 8 p.m., a youth allegedly threatened three children with a bread knife and snatched one child’s Halloween mask. The children sought shelter in a nearby pizzeria.
