Cops held over brothel brawl

But that's what happened to three top Frankfurt police officerscops, who have been detained by police and are under investigation for assault following a brawl in a brothel, according to a Frankfurt police spokesman.

Confirming a report in Bild newspaper, the spokesman said the three officers of the elite SEK anti-terrorism unit had been transferred to another department pending the outcome of the investigation by the state prosecutors' office.

The three off-duty officers, aged 30, 32 and 35, were in a red-light district of Germany's financial capital after an office party.

They got into a dispute with the brothel's bouncers that turned violent. Police arriving detained their colleagues.
