Berlin Teen Attacks Police in Hospital After Stabbing, Bruchsal Launches Manhunt in Park Assault

Prosecutors classify the Bruchsal assault as suspected attempted homicide, with police appealing for witnesses.

Overview

  • Berlin police say a 17-year-old was stabbed multiple times near the Alexa shopping center Thursday night and underwent hospital treatment without life-threatening injuries.
  • The next morning the teen tried to leave the Friedrichshain hospital, then assaulted responding officers by striking one in the face and spitting blood at another.
  • Both injured officers went off duty for medical examinations, and the teenager received renewed intensive care before being presented to a psychiatric specialist ward.
  • In Bruchsal shortly after midnight, a confrontation in Viktoriapark left a 23-year-old with a stab wound to the neck and a 19-year-old with hand injuries; both were treated in hospital and are stable.
  • Police say the suspects fled toward Bruchsal station, a helicopter-supported search is underway, and detailed descriptions of two men have been released with a witness hotline.
