Police officer in Neukölln seriously injured - knife attack shocked Berlin!

Neukölln, Berlin, Deutschland - A 28-year-old stabbed a police officer in Neukölln, Berlin, Berlin on Friday evening with a knife and caused life-threatening injuries. The incident occurred after the man had previously damaged a police vehicle in front of a guard. During the subsequent check, he suddenly pulled a knife and attacked the official. According to the information from Tagesspiegel , the injured policeman was immediately brought to a clinic, where an emergency operation had to be carried out. However, a police spokesman had previously reported that there was no longer any danger to life.

The murder commission has taken the investigation into suspected attempted manslaughter against the suspect, which was arrested after the incident. This attack on the police officer follows another serious incident, in which another civil servant was injured at a Propalestinian rally in Berlin. This was torn into the crowd during the Nakba demonstration and trampled down.

public security situation in Berlin

The two incidents also make a highlight of the current security situation in Berlin. While the police are dealing with the investigation into the violent attacks, those affected and members of the victims express serious accusations. Nayla P., a 26-year-old who was born in Tunisia and has been living in Berlin for a year and a half, reports on a knife attack that occurred on January 28th. After visiting a hairdresser, she was attacked on the open street by a stranger who stood up with a knife twelve times. Nayla survived the attack, but lost part of her lungs and now suffers from considerable physical and psychological consequences.

The police's investigation into their case leads Nayla to the conviction that their security is not taken seriously. She feels abandoned by the police and criticizes the investigators' approach, in particular the classification of the incident as a dangerous bodily harm instead of an attempted murder. Nayla and her lawyer Linh Steffen believe that the number of stitches indicates a will to kill.

dissatisfaction with the investigation

Almost four months after her attack, a picture of the suspect was published, which Nayla feels too late. In addition, she burdened the behavior of the police, who asked insensitive questions about her lifestyle, including drug use and sex work. With the support of the sacrificial counseling center, Nayla plans to submit a complaint to the police president. Parto Tavangar of Reachout hopes that the allegations of the crime will be changed to attempted murder to increase the priority of the case.

The current state of the investigation leaves Nayla frustrated. It comes to the conclusion that their security and those of their fellow citizens are not taken seriously by the security authorities. While society hopes for protection, there are always signs of the opposite in Berlin.
