An enraged 16-stone naked German women had to be handcuffed by police officers after she went on the rampage at a health club when two other visitors suggested she was taking up too much room in the sauna.

Danice Mueller, 35, claims she got into a row with two other guests after they accused her of being too big in the sauna at the club in Karlsruhe, a claim the two guests denied. She also claims one guest said that she would have been ' drowned in the middle ages'.

When a manager at the club tried to defuse the situation Mrs Mueller, a nurse, refused to be placated and continued shouting. In the end they called police - but she still refused to relax.

Police said that she and her partner had attacked officers, and she had to be handcuffed and arrested.

A police spokesman said that four officers had been sent and added: 'We asked her first to get dressed and leave three times, but her reply was to insult them.

'A further two policeman were called as back up. She still refused to leave and injured two officers in her protests. Her 54-year-old boyfriend then also started making a scene.'



Police overpowered the pair and they were removed in handcuffs - naked - from the sauna.

Danica said: 'I was treated very badly, a guest started insulting me, saying someone as fat as me should not be in there.

'Then another sauna guest joined in saying people like me were drowned in the middle ages. I did not want to sit back and take the insults and asked them to stop.'

She now faces GBH charges, verbal abuse charges and resisting a request from law enforcers.
