Dog in Berlin: owner wants to evade control

A behavior that is absolutely forbidden in the park. When two employees of the public order office made the dog owner aware of this and pointed out that it was required to be kept on a leash, the situation escalated.
The senior suddenly fled with his dog. In order to evade control, he is said to have hidden from the two law enforcement officers in a nearby house. However, one of the two men continued to pursue the human-dog duo and put his foot on the threshold to prevent the door from closing.
