Neukölln: 30-year-old suffers a knife attack in the event of a robbery

On the night of June 27, 2025, a 30-year-old man in Neukölln was seriously injured. He suffered stab and cuts after he was presumably attacked by a group of five to six people. According to the police, residents on Lahnstrasse alarmed at 2:15 a.m. the forces when they heard the man call for help. The injured reported that his wallet and cash had been granted to him during this attack. The rescue workers found several injuries, but no danger to life was determined when admitted to the hospital.

The criminal police of Police Directorate 5 (City) has taken over the investigation into the incident. Details on the crime scene and the circumstances of the attack are still evaluated. The increase in attacks and acts of violence in urban areas is repeatedly discussed by the current statistics.

Investigations and increasing crime

The police crime statistics (PKS) shows that in Berlin the number of unreported cases is high. According to the PKS, not all police crimes become known, which limits the statistics' meaningfulness. The report analyzes the type and number of crimes recorded as well as their distribution according to the crime scene, time and sometimes also taking into account social factors such as the age and gender of the suspects. Information about particularly endangered urban areas, such as Neukölln, are therefore particularly relevant for the fight against crime and criminal policy decisions.

Further information on violent attacks in Neukölln have recently been public, such as a report on a fatal incident in the Körnerpark, where a 28-year-old man was stabbed. This illustrates the concern for concerns in the past few months in this Berlin district, in which violent crimes have increasingly come into focus. A suspect has already been arrested in this context, which supports the police in their efforts to investigate these crimes.

The rapid and brutality of the incidents make it clear that despite the investigation and the presence of the police, crime in certain districts is a serious problem. For the residents, this is a worrying signal that demands after an intensive debate about security and prevention measures.

While the investigation into the attack on Lahnstrasse continues, it remains to be seen in the knowledge of the police to gain it in order to prevent future attacks and increase security in the district. The need for targeted fighting measures is undisputed because violent crime in urban surrounding fields seems to be becoming increasingly pressing.
