There were several knife attacks in Berlin on Friday evening and Saturday night.
► Around 10 p.m. there was a dispute among young people at Arnimplatz in a park on Seelower Straße. According to their statement, it was about a device for rolling cigarettes.
The argument got so bad that one young man severely cut the neck of another. A fire engine from the fire brigade, which was on its way to do residual extinguishing work on Paul-Robeson-Strasse, was stopped by police officers. They immediately initiated the first care measures and squeezed the heavily bleeding wound.
An ambulance and paramedics transported the seriously injured man to a hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. The perpetrator was arrested on the spot.
