FRANKFURT AM MAIN: Police in Frankfurt said Sunday they came under attack overnight, with up to 800 people massing outside the German financial capital's main police station and pelting officers with eggs and bottles.
Nine suspects were arrested but eight of them had to be released in the course of the night because of a lack of evidence, police said in a statement. The violence began at around 10:45 pm, when stones, bottles and eggs were flung at a passing patrol car for no clear reason on the Zeil shopping promenade.
The situation escalated shortly after, with between 500 and 800 people massing "without meeting coronavirus rules" outside the police headquarters where they also hurled projectiles at officers.
