Heidingsfeld: A Different Perspective - Police helicopter targeted with laser pointer.

Over the weekend, the police helicopter from Roth aided their colleagues in Würzburg with the search for someone who'd gone missing. Near a cliff along the Main, an unidentified individual used a laser pointer to target the chopper crew, blinding them momentarily. Luckily, the pilot reacted quickly and averted a potential eye injury.

Police officers in Würzburg undoubtedly can't be happy, as they spent the rest of their night scouring the area around the cliff. They managed to nab a local suspect, aged 27, who had the laser pointer on him when they took him in for questioning. He's currently facing accusations of endangering air traffic.
