The Guardian reported that police in Dortmund, western Germany, were pelted with bottles, stones and fireworks on Sunday after hundreds of people rushed a doner kebab shop. The surge was sparked by a one‑off introductory price of €1 for a doner, which the shop advertised for its opening. According to the report, the shop’s opening attracted a large crowd eager to take advantage of the deal. The outlet’s owner called the police when the crowd overwhelmed the premises. Officers faced projectiles as the crowd tried to secure a portion at the rock‑bottom price.
Why it matters
The incident shows how a cheap promotional offer can trigger crowd unrest and put police at risk.
