Explosives found in Neukölln: Police are looking for a fugitive suspect!
In a dramatic incident in Berlin-Neukölln, a man with explosives triggered a major police alarm. On Wednesday afternoon, federal police wanted to check the suspect at the Neukölln S-Bahn station, but he fled across the tracks and left behind a bag with explosive contents. The police reacted immediately and took the explosives to the Thomashöhe park, where they were detonated. The blast was reportedly “heard several hundred meters away,” and an official warned that if it had exploded near people, “dramatic consequences” could have occurred.
The police have taken over the investigation and are still searching for the man who fled. While the background to the incident is still unclear, there is currently no evidence of a planned terrorist attack. However, the state security service was involved in the investigation. There was never any danger to residents and the area was cordoned off to ensure safety. Further information on this incident can be found in the report from www.rbb24.de.
