Dentist's visit escalates into a state of emergency situation

In the quiet town of Euskirchen-Stotzheim, an unexpected event unfolded on August 25th during a routine dental appointment. A 20-year-old patient, whose name remains undisclosed, experienced an anger outburst that led to a series of unusual and concerning actions.

The dental appointment took a turn for the worse when the patient, in a fit of rage, kicked doors within the practice. After the session, the patient made his way outside, where he picked up a metal rod from the sidewalk.

The calm of the day was shattered when the patient, now armed with the metal rod, began swinging it around. His actions resulted in the damage of the glass entrance of a nearby residential building, with the estimated cost of repairs falling within the low four-digit euro range.

In a disturbing turn of events, the 20-year-old attempted to strike a 64-year-old passerby with the metal rod. However, the elderly woman managed to deflect the blow with her backpack, escaping harm.

The Criminal Police have launched investigations into both the property damage and the attempted dangerous bodily harm. Despite their efforts, the 20-year-old had already disappeared by the time they arrived on the scene.

The dental team, understandably, were affected by the incident. The practice's interior, thankfully, remained intact. The community of Euskirchen-Stotzheim awaits updates on the ongoing investigations and hopes for a swift resolution to this unexpected event.
