Berlin Police Open Attempted-Homicide Probe After New Humboldt Forum Attack

A homicide unit with prosecutors now leads the case, assessing evidence and possible ties to a late‑August brawl.

Overview

  • Police say one person was resuscitated at the scene on Friday evening and is being treated in an intensive care unit.
  • Authorities report a second injured person and no fatalities confirmed so far.
  • Callers described around 20 people fighting at the central Berlin site, which was cordoned off during a large emergency response.
  • Weapons have not been officially specified, though witnesses cited in earlier reporting said knives were drawn during the confrontation.
  • Investigators are evaluating a potential connection to an August 23 incident at the same location that left six people wounded.
