[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=2) They told him, “Put your arms out in front.”

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=4) He was standing at the top of the stairs, which are about eleven and a half feet high.

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=7) “Put your arms out in front.” He demonstrated with his arms, and then two of them took him by the arms and dragged him down the stairs, then threw him onto a door that had been taken off its hinges.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=27) And, and he, well, well, my father said he was, he was shaking.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=37) He was shaking like a leaf. And then he... And, and didn't really know what to do either, yeah.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=44) He did it very carefully, and the officer said: “Now do it properly here, really drive your knee in.”

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ieeZbNyaTPWu/en/account-of-a-father-s-violent-arrest-in-germany?t=51) That, that was the arrest. It escalated extremely badly for me, but it escalated for everyone here in Germany.
