Spanish Tourist Stabbed at Berlin Holocaust Memorial

The victim, a 30-year-old man, was seriously injured in the attack, while police arrested a suspect hours later but remain unclear on the motive.

A 30-year-old Spanish tourist was attacked and stabbed multiple times at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin on Friday evening around 6 PM local time.
The victim was hospitalized in critical condition but underwent surgery, and his condition is now stable, according to police reports.
The suspect initially fled the scene but was apprehended hours later near the memorial, with visible bloodstains on his hands; his identity and motive remain unknown.
Authorities have not established a connection between the attack and the memorial itself, and no evidence has emerged linking the incident to terrorism or antisemitism.
The attack occurs during a tense period in Germany, marked by recent violent incidents and heightened political polarization ahead of Sunday’s federal elections.
