Rausch was slightly injured in the arrest, as was a member of the special forces who was cut with the axe. Rausch had fled into the forest on Sunday after he managed to disarm four police officers, sparking a huge search operation. More than 2,500 officers combed the area with the help of special forces, helicopters, sniffer dogs and thermal imaging cameras for the fugitive, nicknamed "Black Forest Rambo" by the German press after pictures emerged of him dressed in combat gear. He then reportedly lived in his car by the local swimming pool for a while before moving into the hut at the edge of the forest.
