Policeman utilizes electro-impulse device (DEIG) to thwart knife-wielding assailant
In the heart of Berlin's vibrant Kreuzberg district, an unsettling incident unfolded near the Yorck bridges last night. A 46-year-old man, armed with a long knife, reportedly attacked a police officer and a policewoman around 20:25.
The assailant, who has not been identified, ran towards the officers with the knife in hand. An officer used a Taser to repel the attack, and the man was promptly arrested at the scene.
Initially, the man was taken to a hospital due to his condition. However, he was later transferred to another hospital for further treatment. The man is currently being held in a psychiatric ward.
Investigations into charges of assault on a law enforcement officer and attempted dangerous assault are still ongoing. A prosecutor has ordered a blood sample to be taken for further investigation.
It is important to note that this incident does not seem to be connected to any of the recent high-profile attacks in Germany, such as the violent incident in Solingen or the attack at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. As of now, the details surrounding this knife attack in Kreuzberg are not widely covered in the media.
For the most current and direct information, we encourage readers to consult local Berlin police reports, Berlin-based news outlets, or official statements. As the investigation continues, more details about the incident and the suspect will likely become available.
