A man was detained after a street altercation in Prenzlauer Berg, while police investigate connections between two knife attacks on the same victim in Neukölln within four days.

A 49-year-old man was arrested in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg after verbally harassing passersby and attempting to stab a man with a pen; no injuries were reported.
The suspect in Prenzlauer Berg also allegedly threatened a teenage girl, who fled and locked herself in a building, prompting the man to strike the door repeatedly.
Meanwhile, a 31-year-old man in Neukölln was attacked twice in separate incidents within four days, both involving groups of assailants and knife injuries.
In the first attack on March 11, the victim was pulled from his car, beaten, and stabbed in the back by multiple men; in the second attack on March 14, six individuals used pepper spray before stabbing him in the thigh.
Police are investigating potential connections between the two Neukölln attacks and whether they may involve organized crime, with no suspects identified yet.
