Police are in the process of arrests in Vollsmose
A large number of officers wearing bulletproof vests have been in action in Clearwater Beach at Vollsmose.
Six people have been arrested by police for unrest in the emergency room at Odense University Hospital and in Vollsmose Monday night.
"We have provisionally arrested six people, which we believe are related to what happened in Vollsmose and the hospital Monday night," says Jesper Feldt, duty officer at Funen Police Ritzau.
Different connection
Some of the men are believed to have been involved in the shooting early evening, while the other is believed to be related to unrest in the emergency department, said Deputy Commissioner Jack Liedecke.
Police would not elaborate on who the characters are, or where and how they are arrested.
A man was shot
Arrests come after two immigrant groups in night clashed in Vollsmose in connection with a Ramadan celebration.
A man was shot in the leg and stabbed in the second, and 60-70 men with batons tried later to find him in the emergency department in Odense.
A cop was in this context affected by stroke, and another officer had to draw his gun.
Disorder, threats and vandalism
Two of the arrested men aged 18 and 19 years made tomorrow in the preliminary hearing in Court in London.
They are charged with having participated in serious disarray, roughly vandalism and threats against police hospital staff Monday night at Odense University Hospital, said Funen Police.
The other four are being questioned.
