Serious Injuries Reported in Berlin Holocaust Memorial Stabbing

A stabbing attack at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial has left a 30-year-old Spanish tourist seriously injured, with police arresting a suspect shortly after the incident. The attack unfolded on the evening of February 21, just two days before Germany's national elections, raising concerns about the political climate, which has been marked by rising tensions and violence linked to migration debates. Authorities have not yet determined a motive for the attack, which involved a sharp object, likely a knife, as the police spokesperson confirmed. Witnesses were present during the assault, and emergency services attended to them as well. The incident is part of a worrying trend of violence in Germany, coinciding with the lead-up to the elections. The arrested suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, will be interrogated as investigations continue.
