Large deployment in Neukölln: Police are looking for explosives suspects!

S-Bahnhof Neukölln, Berlin, Deutschland - The police in Berlin-Neukölln is on the hunt for a man who triggered a large-scale operation with explosives. On Wednesday evening, officials from the federal police discovered a bag with alleged TATP, a highly explosive material that is used by militant groups worldwide, during a check. The suspect fled the tracks and left the bag, which was later blown up in the "Thomashöhe" park in a controlled manner. The detonation was heard several hundred meters, but there was no danger for residents, as the police confirmed.

The background of the incident is still unclear and the investigation runs in all directions, including a possible suspicion of terrorism. A security officer expressed that it would look as if an attack was prevented that could have had devastating consequences. The man who lost an ID on the run could be a 30-year-old Pole, whose ID was reported as stolen. The police now evaluate video recordings to identify the suspect. Further details about this incident are still sparse, but the security situation at train stations remains tense, as experts warn.
