German school students in Starnberg try to spring teen from cell

School leaving parties are often riotous affairs, but they rarely end with 50 teenagers laying siege to a police station.

That was the scene in the lakeside Bavarian town of Starnberg on Thursday night, after police were called to a party and arrested a boy, described as drunk and aggressive.

The teen was put in a cell, prompting schoolmates to seek his release.
