A man attacked several people in the western district of Charlottenburg in the German capital before onlookers intervened, according to reports.
Berlin police said they detained a man Tuesday after he attacked and injured several people in the district of Charlottenburg.
Police said two people were taken to hospital for their injuries in what was a suspected knife attack. They could not confirm if any other people were injured.
“Shortly before 12 noon, emergency services were called to … Charlottenburg because a man had allegedly injured several people — presumably with a knife,” police posted on X.
Bild newspaper reported several onlookers pounced on the attacker and overpowered him before the police arrived.
Germany is still reeling from an attack on Christmas market in the city of Magdeburg last week, which killed five and injured over 200. A doctor originally from Saudi Arabia was arrested on murder charges, with authorities still piecing together his motivations for the assault.
