In the early hours of February 16, an incident occurred at a disco on Bolkerstraße in Düsseldorf's old town. At around 3:20 AM, an argument between a 30-year-old woman and the disco's bouncers escalated, leading to a series of disturbing events.

The woman, who has yet to be identified publicly, was causing a disturbance within the disco prior to the argument. As the altercation unfolded, she injured one of the disco employees, who was later identified as the victim of grievous bodily harm. The police were called to the scene to take statements, but the woman became aggressive towards them.
