When violence is threatened

In an unarmed threat situation, do the following.

• Act calmly and try to reassure the person with your own behaviour.
• Make sure you do not turn your back or corner yourself so that you always have an escape route from the threatening person.
• If possible, ask for help.
• Run away and help others to escape from the scene

Take care of your own safety. Try to direct the threatening person to a place where they cannot be harmful to others. After the incident, report the incident to the police if necessary.

If the threatening person has a weapon, do the following.

• Do not resist.
• Do only what the threatening person tells you to do.
• If possible, try to warn others.
• After the incident, call 112. Listen to the instructions and act on them.

Any threat or observation of a possible threatening situation must be taken seriously and reported to the police immediately.
