Repossessor VS Chainsaw
A German man tried to fight off a
repossessor with a chainsaw and gasoline bombs before being arrested by
police special forces, authorities said Thursday.
The 52-year-old man in the eastern town of Helbra barricaded himself in
his single-family house when the repossessor arrived with a two-man police
escort. He first drove off the trio by throwing petrol bombs and a
barbecue lighting device at them.
The police called in reinforcements, a SEK special forces unit. When they
stormed the house the man fired up his chainsaw and revved it but was
quickly overwhelmed. Two police officers were injured, a spokeswoman said.
"We've had a number of repossessions before but never had anything quite
like this," said police spokeswoman Birgit Bandermann, adding he faces
charges of attempted manslaughter.
