Welcome to the largest psychiatric clinic in NRW, the forensic LVR clinic in Bedburg-Hau on the Lower Rhine. Last night, this calm facility turned into a battleground, with the local police joining the war. A band of troublemakers stirred quite a commotion that demanded the intervention of the police force, special units, and even an aerial backup[3].
The rampaging rioters caused quite a stir, inciting a "security disturbance," according to a police spokesperson. After an intense standoff, they are now surrounded and under control, the spokesperson added[4]. The fire in the building has been doused, and smoke signs of the chaos have faded away.
The instigators of this madness were allegedly egged on by an enraged patient[5]. They constructed barricades, fueled by anger, and even torched furniture in their rebellion. In the ensuing pandemonium, patients and staff seamlessly fled to the secluded outdoor area, under the protective coverage of the clinic's fortress-like fence[6]. Thankfully, there's no news of a hostage crisis.
Special forces and a helicopter were deployed to quell the rebellion. A massive contingent of police, fire department, and justice department personnel stormed the facility, with most of the inmates herded into the fenced-off outdoor area. The scenario was too chaotic for any inmate to make a break for it[7]. The clinic caters to psychologically ill offenders.
