A bag containing explosive material was found in the Berlin metro, according to German authorities. The bag was reportedly thrown by its owner while fleeing from police officers at the Neukölln metro station. Explosives experts detonated the substance in a controlled location. It is believed that the individual intended to carry a bottle with explosives, commonly used by Islamic radicals for terrorist acts.
Earlier this month, a 32-year-old man attacked pedestrians with a knife in Germany, leaving four people injured. The suspect was apprehended and questioned by local police. In a separate incident in Krefeld, an unknown man was severely injured by law enforcement after throwing flammable mixtures near a cinema. An investigation into the incidents has been launched by the police.
