Police officers raise the alarm: Köpenick knife attack leads to shots!

In a dramatic incident in Köpenick, the police pulled their service weapons on Thursday when a man rushed to the official with a knife. The 51-year-old had previously alerted and threatened the police to attack passers-by if they did not arrive immediately. When the police arrived, there was a violent meeting in which the officials in self -defense made several shots and seriously injured the man. He was immediately taken to a hospital. The background of this dangerous situation has so far been unclear, but it is believed that the man may have deliberately acted provocatively to bring about a conflict, as B.Z. reported.

Investigations for death shots set

Another incident of police force occurred in November 2024 in a Nuremberg residential building, where a mentally conspicuous man was fatally met during a police commitment. He had threatened his partner with a knife and did not react despite several requests. The police finally had to intervene because the woman asked for support for support and the man announced that they "take them". After a comprehensive investigation, the public prosecutor now found that the police officers' self -defense measures were justified and the investigation against the civil servants was discontinued. The Source N-tv reported that the incident affirmed by several witnesses and that the statements of the participants were unanimous.

Both incidents throw a bright light on the explosive location, in which police officers are often located when they are confronted with violent or mentally stressed persons. The dramatic incidents show the complex challenges in front of which the police are facing if they have to weigh between the protection of the public and the use of violence.
