Altenburg: a town to visit. - Large fight breaks out among Libyans and Syrians.

A rivalry between Libyans and Syrians led to a violent confrontation. Authorities identified four individuals involved in the physical altercation. One man received head trauma from an unknown item and received treatment as an outpatient.

The confrontation escalated, with both sides striking one another and deploying pepper spray. Upon the arrival of police, the groups were split up and the wounded received necessary medical attention. Although the conflict seemed to subside, officers still needed to maintain distance between the parties and command them to leave the area.

The law enforcement officers faced an aggressive response and were assaulted with a glass bottle. Two suspects were detained to ward off further danger. Two officers incurred minor injuries; one required outpatient treatment at the Altenburger Land Hospital. Officers have opened investigations against the individuals for inciting violence, inflicting life-threatening harm, obstructing law enforcement, and assaulting law enforcement personnel.
