Pepper spray therefore had to be used, which however had no effect, the man actually continued to swing the ax dangerously, managing to escape into a nearby apartment complex where, after a further attempt to hit the officers , was hit with the electric gun.

However, he broke free from one of the arrows, resuming his escape by climbing over a fence and jumping into the basement area of ​​the building from a height of about three meters, where he was eventually stopped.
