Bicycle track events among Werder's devotees...

In Bremen, Germany, on Saturday afternoon, a bicycle procession of around 600 SV Werder Bremen supporters commenced from the Unisee towards the Weser Stadium at approximately 12:30 PM. However, the day's events took an unexpected turn.

As the procession continued, some participants broke through a police barrier at Stern. This action led to a series of incidents. Immediately afterwards, several people attacked the tram driver, resulting in minor injuries. The group also did not adhere to the agreed route, causing further disruption.

In response to these incidents, the Bremen Police initiated investigations. The nature of the investigations includes allegations of dangerous bodily harm and insults. The Bremen Police's official website, www.polizei.bremen.de, provides more information about the force, and Nils Matthiesen can be reached at 0421 361-12114 for further inquiries.

During the procession, some people tried to break through a police chain, leading to the use of force. Police officers intervened immediately and rescued the tram driver using direct force, including physical violence and batons. A minor traffic accident occurred between a cyclist from the group and a tram in the area of the Sielwall crossing, with the cyclist hitting the window of the tram, causing the driver to get out.

In a separate incident, Bremen ultras were reported to have insulted police officers who had come from Bavaria to support Bremen during the operation. However, the specific insults made by the Bremen ultras are not detailed in the provided information.

Further evaluations are ongoing in the investigations. The Bremen Police's consultation website, www.polizei-beratung.de, is also available for those seeking more information. The search results do not provide the name of the leader of the police units deployed on the day of the SV Werder Bremen vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen match in Bremen, nor information on who is responsible for the investigations within the Bremen police.

The Press Office of the Bremen Police can be contacted for further inquiries. No information was provided about the outcome or further actions taken regarding the incidents. The Bremen Police have urged the public to wait for the results of the ongoing investigations before forming any conclusions.
