Again trouble in James Simon Park! The muggy, warm summer night brought another stress test for the Berlin police in the city’s parks.
Between 800 and 1000 party-goers gathered again in the James-Simon-Park in Mitte. After physical injury and other crimes had occurred, the park was cleared by a hundred Berlin police, federal police and dog handlers from the Berlin police.

The background is, among other things, the zero-tolerance strategy that applies in connection with the park: If there are several crimes within a certain period of time, the area will be cleared.
By 1:30 a.m., the park was finally empty.
