attack in Görlitzer Park

Another incident in Berlin occurred last Sunday morning when a 32-year-old man in the Görlitzer Park was threatened by two perpetrators with a firearm who demanded his cell phone. There were shots in the robbery, one of the shots on the floor between the victim's legs and another grazed his thigh. Despite the threatening situation, brave witnesses were able to capture one of the perpetrators until the police arrived. The second suspect was also arrested due to the witnesses. The victim was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound, but there is no danger to life, such as the Tagesspiegel reported.

The Görlitzer Park is considered a crime -contaminated place in Berlin, with similar problems also existing in other parts of the city such as the Kottbusser Tor and Alexanderplatz. In response to the ongoing crimes, the Governing Mayor of Berlin plans to build a fence around the park to reduce drug trafficking and other criminal activities.

The police crime statistics (PKS) provides information about the crime situation in Berlin. These statistics record all criminal issues known to the police and helps to analyze and combat crime. The PKS contains information about the type and number of crimes recorded, crime scenes and times as well as data on suspects and sacrifices, such as the Police Berlin explained.

The number of criminal offenses committed in Berlin is difficult to record because not all the offenses are reported to the police. This depends on the notification of the population and the control intensity of the police. The small -scale distribution of crime has been evaluated since 2008 and published online since 2017, which ensures better transparency and information basis.
