In Lower Bavaria, four inmates of a psychiatric facility escaped. They are considered dangerous. The police and public prosecutor’s office are investigating.
After four criminals escaped from a closed clinic in Straubing, the police are also counting on the help of the public. A spokeswoman said that numerous witness reports had already been received. These are now being processed. The search continued on Sunday. The public prosecutor’s office and the criminal investigation department are investigating on suspicion of hostage-taking and dangerous bodily harm.
The men are said to have threatened an employee of the district hospital (BKH) on Saturday evening, attacked him with blunt and sharp objects and held him down in order to force the gate to open. The employee suffered injuries to his face. According to the police, he was still in a clinic for inpatient treatment on Sunday.
The fugitives, aged 27, 28 and 31, are considered dangerous. They are being held in the district hospital for property and drug offenses, the police said. Citizens were asked not to pick up hitchhikers and not to approach suspicious people. Instead, they should call the police emergency number 110.
The Straubing District Hospital describes itself as a specialist clinic for forensic psychiatry and psychotherapy and fulfils the legal mandate of the correctional facility under the auspices of the Lower Bavaria district.
