Knife attack in Berlin: 66-year-old seriously injured – perpetrator in custody!
In recent days, a knife attack in a supermarket in Berlin made headlines. A 40-year-old man with Slovenian nationality stabbed a 66-year-old and seriously injured him. According to police investigations, there is no evidence of a religious or political motivation for this act of violence. The perpetrator was arrested and is in police custody. He is to be brought before a judge today; The public prosecutor's office has started an investigation into dangerous bodily harm. The victim underwent emergency surgery and is now in stable condition. It remains unclear whether the perpetrator and victim knew each other or whether it was a sudden attack.
The attack occurred after the perpetrator bought a knife and scissors in the supermarket in Berlin-Lichtenberg on Saturday evening. After the crime, he initially fled, but was caught a short time later near the crime scene. What is worrying is that a similar incident took place in Berlin-Charlottenburg at the same time as this attack. There, a 30-year-old homeless Syrian suddenly stabbed two people.
Terrible incidents on New Year's Eve
The incident on New Year's Eve in Berlin-Charlottenburg, in which a 69-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries, points to a worrying pattern. The suspect, a Syrian living in Sweden, stole two knives from a Rewe supermarket and carried out the attacks in front of the store. A 19-year-old also suffered injuries. The attacker let go of his victims when several passers-by intervened, including a woman who threatened to use irritating gas spray. He was eventually arrested by police near the crime scene. The investigation was taken over by the 1st Homicide Commission and the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office, and the background to the crime is still being clarified.
In another incident in Munich, several people were injured in a knife attack on Theresienwiese. Police were forced to shoot the attacker, who later died in hospital. This series of violent acts raises questions about safety and the causes of such attacks, particularly in relation to the psychological state of the perpetrators. While the Syrian suspect from Berlin is under psychiatric care, it remains to be seen what measures will be taken to prevent such acts of violence in the future.
