Alleged Gunfire and Assaults Stir Berlin Night

A police operation took place at Osloer Straße subway station in Berlin-Wedding after reports of gunfire. Witnesses described an exchange of shots among several individuals, and police discovered cartridge cases at the scene. A 31-year-old man, involved in the incident, sustained injuries and was hospitalized. He claimed he was attacked, robbed, and pursued by a group, resulting in the gunfire. The police detained the man and two companions temporarily but later released them.

Simultaneously, a brutal attack on two trans women occurred in Neukölln, Berlin. They were assaulted by multiple men, leading to one woman suffering a severe head injury. The attack, which began with spitting and water being thrown at the victims, escalated as the women pursued their assailants. The police have termed this a transphobic attack, and the state protection agency is investigating.

These disturbing incidents underscore rising concerns over public safety and targeted violence in Berlin, prompting ongoing investigations to uncover the circumstances and motives behind these events.
