There was a major police operation in Castrop-Rauxel on Thursday evening. According to initial information, a dispute has escalated into a mass brawl. According to the police, two large groups of people met near a train station.
A possible reason for the mass brawl is a dispute from the previous day. It was initially unclear what it was about, how large the group of people was and whether weapons were used. There are at least seven injured – one critically injured person and two seriously and four slightly injured, said a police spokesman at around 8:30 p.m.
