(ADW) Luxembourg police received death threats on Sunday morning after a reported domestic abuse incident said to have occurred earlier in the morning.
It was at about 7:20am when a woman appeared at the police station located next to Luxembourg City’s main train station, stating that she had been beaten by her cousin.
When officers tried to contact the accused attacker by telephone at his home in Rumelange, the man lashed out stating that he had “no fear” of the police before threatening to attack and kill everyone involved with a Kalashnikov rifle.
Officers swiftly deployed a special police unit as it was unclear whether the threats were serious or if the man was actually armed or not. It was a short time later when police located the man and overpowered him before carrying out search of the apartment in Rumelange.
The accused was arrested before being brought before magistrates later in the day.
Whether or not the man was armed and in possession of a Kalashnikov, was not reported.
