Two men injured in knife attack near Berlin's Görlitzer Park

Two 25-year-old men sustained knife injuries near Berlin's Görlitzer Park, requiring hospitalization. Police apprehended a 22-year-old suspect in connection with the assaults.

The incident unfolded overnight when the suspect reportedly approached individuals in the park and initiated altercations. According to police, he then approached one of the 25-year-old victims near Skalitzer Straße and stabbed him without provocation. The victim suffered a back injury and was taken to the hospital after initial treatment.

While police were still at the scene, another 25-year-old man came forward reporting a stab wound to his forearm. He also claimed to have been approached and attacked by the same suspect.

Authorities recovered a knife from the 22-year-old suspect, which is being examined as the potential weapon. Due to suspicion of drug influence, a blood sample was taken from the suspect under a prosecutor's order. The criminal police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
