At around 2am on Saturday, police were forced to intervene in a brawl that broke out in a bar on Boulevard Kennedy in Esch-sur-Alzette. According to preliminary reports, the fight began when a guest claimed to have had their phone stolen. The situation soon got out of hand and a physical altercation unfolded outside of the establishment’s doors. Pepper spray was also used in the fight.
Officers at the scene subsequently helped a man wash out his eyes after being hit by the spray. He was later sent to the hospital for a check-up while police opened an investigation.
Elsewhere in the country, police were alerted to no fewer than 25 nightly disturbances, with the majority of issues swiftly resolved.
