Luxembourg police carried out more than a hundred interventions on Halloween night, including for altercations, public-order disturbances and nuisance. An injured person refused first aid before becoming aggressive towards officers, while firecrackers were thrown near them, according to Luxembourg authorities.

Luxembourg police carried out more than 100 interventions for altercations, public-order disturbances and nuisance during Halloween night, from Saturday 31 October to Sunday 1 November, according to authorities cited by L’essentiel.

In Luxembourg City, a patrol called to rue de la Poste at around 00:50 found a man injured after a fight. The victim initially refused treatment, then became aggressive towards the police, who restrained him. Two people then threw firecrackers near the officers and the injured man, causing no injuries. They were found at Place d’Armes after fleeing by bicycle, arrested and charged with resisting authority.

Police were also called over firecrackers, fireworks, eggs being thrown and persistent doorbell ringing. In Schifflange, several teenagers were checked and firecrackers seized. Pumpkins also damaged a window, according to L’essentiel.
