Syrian arrested after smuggling illegal immigrants into Germany, strangles police officer during manhunt

 

A Syrian national has been arrested in Germany after he was caught behind the wheel of a vehicle attempting to smuggle 32 illegal immigrants into the country.

 

The 34-year-old’s vehicle was subjected to a routine check at the German-Austrian border crossing at Burghausen on Sunday. After refusing to comply with requests to pull over, the migrant driver attempted to flee the scene in the vehicle before stopping abruptly further up the road and running from the vehicle on foot into a nearby forest.

 

A German police officer chased after the suspect and apprehended him in the forest, using pepper spray on him and bringing him to the ground before handcuffing him.

 

However, upon leading the suspect out of the forest, the Syrian national attempted to evade the authorities once more, pulling the officer to the ground and attempting to strangle him with his bare hands.

 

During the struggle that ensued, the police officer managed to grab his firearm and fire a warning shot into the air, prompting the suspect to comply and lay on the ground before more officers intervened to control the situation.

 

A search of the seized vehicle, which had a Swedish registration plate, found 32 illegal immigrants, fake Turkish identity documents, and plastic bags filled with feces, according to German media.
