Three Separate Knife Attacks Leave Three Men Seriously Injured in Berlin

Police have opened criminal investigations to determine motives or links between the incidents.

Overview

  • Police confirmed late Sunday that three separate stabbings took place in Lichtenberg, Tempelhof and Prenzlauer Berg and that three men were seriously hurt.
  • Officers detained at least three suspects provisionally, with two arrests made at Tempelhofer Damm and one in Prenzlauer Berg while the situation in Lichtenberg remains under inquiry.
  • At Tempelhofer Damm the victim was critically injured after a dispute inside a car and two men were held at the scene by police.
  • Investigators from the Kriminalpolizei have taken over the scenes and say motives and any links between the attacks are still unclear.
  • The cases come as Berlin recorded 3,599 knife-attack incidents in 2025, a rise that police say frames wider public-safety concerns and could drive further police action and prosecutions.
