Berlin Police Increase Presence for Halloween Night

Authorities prepare for potential disturbances, considering past incidents and current geopolitical tensions.

The Berlin police will enhance their presence across the city on Halloween, focusing on known trouble spots.
Past experiences have shown that certain areas like Gesundbrunnen and Neukölln have seen unrest during Halloween.
The police's planning includes potential impacts from the ongoing Gaza conflict, though no specific threats have been identified.
Around 1,000 officers were deployed last year, with possible support from other German states still under consideration for this year.
Previous Halloween nights have seen incidents involving fireworks and vandalism, but no injuries were reported.
