Police attempted to arrest a 40-year-old man wanted under an international warrant when a dispute occurred. The suspect pulled out a grenade and its safety pin, threatening to activate it. Police officers were forced to use force. They grabbed his arms and attempted to seize the grenade to prevent it from detonating and endangering those present. The suspect continued to resist, prompting the police to use firearms and manage to take the grenade from him, keeping it without the safety pin until the bomb disposal team arrived. The perpetrator was shot and injured. Following the incident, the police searched the perpetrator's flat and found and seized an automatic rifle with a magazine, a pistol, a hand grenade, a rifle grenade launcher, and several tactical uniforms.
