Two minors arrested after violence near Berlin-Wannsee, prosecutors say
German police detained two teenage suspects in an investigation into group violence around Potsdam and Berlin.
German police arrested two teenage suspects in an investigation into violent attacks around Potsdam and the Berlin-Wannsee area, according to Tagesspiegel and rbb24.
Prosecutors in Potsdam and the regional police said warrants had been issued in connection with a public-order violence case in Berlin-Kohlhasenbrück.
The investigation followed a September attack in which a group reportedly assaulted other young people, leaving one person with head injuries.
Police said they had collected identifying information from several other teenagers as part of inquiries into a series of incidents in Potsdam and neighbouring parts of Berlin.
Investigators established a dedicated team to examine alleged offences in the area. The arrests do not establish guilt and the extent of any common involvement remains subject to judicial proceedings.
The case relates to group violence and several suspects, rather than a single ordinary assault. Officials did not provide evidence of a continuing public threat at the time of the latest arrests.
