A man who disarmed four officers at gunpoint in southwestern Germany before fleeing into the Black Forest has been arrested after five days on the run, police said today. Police said 31-year-old Yves Rausch was found sitting in a bush with an axe in his lap and four firearms were seized during his arrest. Rausch was slightly injured in the arrest, as was a member of the special forces who was cut with the axe. Officers located a suspect and conducted an ID check on the man at a hut he was using illegally. The paper added that Rausch could survive by eating wild plants and insects and by drinking spring water.
