Berlin Police Attacked in Two Overnight Incidents as 23-Year-Old Suspects Detained Then Released

Overview

• At about 23:30, officers at U-Bahnhof Warschauer Straße reported a 23-year-old shoulder-charged an officer, acted aggressively, and resisted arrest.
• In police custody after the Warschauer Straße arrest, a judge ordered a blood draw and identification procedures before the suspect was released.
• Around 03:00 on Waldemarstraße in Kreuzberg, a 23-year-old struck an officer during a response to a loud party and resisted being detained.
• The injured Kreuzberg officer sustained a wound behind the left ear but remained on duty without documented medical treatment.
• Police said the party crowd tried to obstruct the arrest, prompting assistance from the 12th riot police unit to clear the apartment, and both cases were referred for further inquiry.
