SEK nimmt 40-jährigen psychisch kranken Mann in Neutraubling fest
Ein Sondereinsatzkommando der Polizei hat am Montag, 16. Juni, gegen 17 Uhr einen 40-jährigen, psychisch kranken Mann festnehmen können. Der Mann hatte gedroht, sich und andere zu verletzen. Fotos: kamera24

„Du kommst hier nicht rein!“
Das gilt für viele, nur nicht für Kampfschwimmer! Um ihre Aufträge, wie zum Beispiel die bewaffnete Inbesitznahme von Schiffen – mit militärisch ausgerüsteten und verhaltenden Gegner – durchzuführen,
verfügen Kampfschwimmer über eine breite Palette an Öffnungswerkzeugen. Dazu gehören der altbekannte Vorschlaghammer (Sledgehammer) oder die hier bei den SEALs gezeigte Sauerstofflanze (Thermolanze).
Daher ist zum Leidwesen des „Türstehers”, in vielen Fällen, die „Benutzung“ dieser nicht notwendig. Mit 5530°c brennt man sich einfach selbst seine Durchbruchsstelle. Das Bild ist auch spannend wegen der Ausrüstung des Mannes mit der Lanze:
er trägt drei Tarnmuster, die bei amerikanischen SEALs möglich sind. Das Wüstenmuster AOR1 und das grüne AOR2, sind regulär, Multicam gibt es aber ebenfalls.
Der Mann trägt einen Ops-Core FAST Maritime Helm mit PVS15 Nachtsichtgerät und einen NJPC Plattenträger von Crye Precision. Seine Kollegen bei der Übung sind einheitlich in AOR2.
