The fact check

We reported on this video August 2016 The Dortmund police said the following:

Physical altercation between several people – criminal police are investigating

There was a physical altercation between several people in the rooms of an institution on Huckarder Strasse on Monday morning (August 1st).

Apparently several people had clashed in a waiting room there. A verbal argument turned into a physical altercation, in which, according to initial witnesses, chairs were used, among other things. On site, the officers encountered eight people between the ages of 14 and 37, seven men and one woman.

The investigation into exactly how the altercation occurred and whether other people were involved is still ongoing. The officers took three young men (14, 15, 20) into custody. They were released after police measures were completed. Five people involved - a 33-year-old woman and four men (19, 21, 26 and 37) - were taken to nearby hospitals for outpatient treatment with minor injuries.
