Police said two people were taken to hospital for their injuries in what was a suspected knife attack. They could not confirm if any other people were injured.
“Shortly before 12 noon, emergency services were called to ... Charlottenburg because a man had allegedly injured several people — presumably with a knife,” police posted on X.
