Five police patrols and Shepherd Bingo resolved a dispute between two groups at Munich Ostbahnhof on Tuesday evening. According to the police, a total of almost 20 men did not comply with the evictions, and the situation in the basement of the station threatened to escalate.
During identity checks, the officials then discovered an open arrest warrant against a 26-year-old for fraudulently obtaining benefits. He was threatened with a 15-day substitute prison sentence. According to a police spokesman, the conflicting groups showed solidarity with the man who lives in Neuhausen and wanted to prevent him from being taken to the office. When the men “became more and more aggressive, uncooperative and rowdy” and got closer and closer to the officers, Bingo, the service dog with a muzzle and leash, intervened.
According to the information, he “barked” at first at a group. When a man approached the handler, Bingo jumped on his upper body, and officers were then able to escort the group towards the platform. The wanted man finally paid his fine at the station. Nobody was injured in the operation, which attracted many onlookers.
