Police in Hagen broke up two separate fights in the city centre within one hour in the early hours of Sunday, 15 November 2026. Officers were called to the first brawl at around 03:10. A four-man group of men aged 20 to 23 allegedly attacked a 25-year-old man from Hagen without provocation. The suspects are said to have punched and kicked the victim together, causing injuries so serious that he was taken by ambulance to hospital. All four men were under the influence of alcohol. Police filed criminal complaints against them and issued bans from the area. About an hour later, another fight was reported nearby. Police said the same group was again involved. As the men allegedly did not follow the previous area bans, officers took two of them into police custody to prevent further offences. A further criminal complaint was filed in connection with the second incident. According to police, the investigation is ongoing, with the suspects facing charges over both incidents.
