• The German police arrested an 18-year-old resident of Switzerland in Constance on Friday morning after a large-scale operation.
• He had threatened a man with a weapon in Münsterlingen TG on Thursday evening, and later pulled a weapon in a hotel in Constance.
• According to the Thurgau Cantonal Police, the 18-year-old fled after the threat in Münsterlingen.

A manhunt was then initiated. In the evening, authorities were able to establish contact with the man while he was in the Constance city area. According to a statement from the German police, the 18-year-old was involved in a confrontation in a hotel in Constance after the incident in Münsterlingen, during which he drew a weapon. He then fled on an e-scooter.

Since the 18-year-old was apparently in a state of psychological distress, a danger to himself and others could not be ruled out, the German police further stated. A large-scale search operation was conducted for the fugitive.
