Overview of the knife attacks in Berlin

The increase in knife attacks in Berlin raises serious questions. In 2022, the police registered 3,412 knife attacks, which represents a slight decline compared to 2021 when 3,482 attacks were recorded. However, these numbers are alarming. More than nine knife attacks per day are counted on average. Over half of the incidents occurred on public roads and squares. The State Criminal Police Office notes that a knife is often used not only as a weapon but also as a threat, with threats to be recorded as a "knife attack". This increasing dynamics of violence highlights the changing social framework in the capital. [Berliner Zeitung] (https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-metropole/93-messer attackspro-in-berin-neue-statistics-wer-die-seter-sind-li.2305189) discusses the background of the statistics and the development of suspects.

In 2022, 365 young people were affected, while the number of German suspects decreased by 4.
