Violent weekend in Limburg leaves officers injured and multiple arrests made

The weekend of 20-21 September 2025 saw a series of incidents in Limburg and surrounding areas, including traffic accidents, assaults on police officers, and disturbances at a local fair.

Saturday evening started with a traffic accident on the Bundesstraße 49. A 41-year-old man from Limburg was involved in a collision while under the influence of alcohol. Meanwhile, a fatal motorcycle accident occurred on the Landesstraße 3021, involving two motorcyclists.

The following day, a 38-year-old man from Rheinbach was stopped for drunk driving on the same Bundesstraße 49. Later that day, multiple brawls and incidents of dangerous bodily injury, threats, and insults took place during the Elz fair.

In Limburg, police officers were attacked while on duty. Firstly, a 22-year-old man from the Rhein-Lahn-Kreis physically assaulted officers at the Bahnhofsplatz early on Sunday morning. Later, several officers were attacked while taking a report at the same location between 05:40 and 06:00. A 37-year-old man from Elz was also taken to the station for insulting a 15-year-old with hateful content.

A 22-year-old man from the Rhein-Lahn district was arrested after attacking a 51-year-old man and resisting police officers.

These incidents highlight the need for increased vigilance and cooperation between authorities and the public to ensure the safety of all. The police are urging anyone with information about these incidents to come forward.
