The security situation in Berlin's subway system, especially on the subway line 2, remains worrying. A brutal incident recently occurred that affects not only those affected, but also the entire community. The Berlin police have now published search photos of three suspects that are said to be involved in this act of violence.

Security situation in Berlin still tense

The frequency of fights at Berlin train stations and within the BVG vehicles has meant that Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) increasingly took measures for more safety and cleanliness. In addition to additional cleaning staff, more security personnel are also used on the subway line 8. But the U2 shows that the problems are more far -reaching and that further measures may be urgently needed.

Brutal attack on Alexanderplatz

on May 22, 2022, at 5:10 a.m., a particularly serious incident occurred at Alexanderplatz underground station. Three men are said to have brutally attacked a 23-year passenger. According to the police, there was previously a dispute between the victim and a group that resulted in an orchestrated attack. The crime is classified as a common dangerous bodily harm, as the suspects gave the victim's strokes and kicks and injured him with a glass bottle. The young man suffered injuries to his face and head, which underlines the danger of these attacks.

The police appeal to the public and asks for clues. In particular, she would like to know:

  • Who saw the suspects before or after the crime?
  • Who can give information about the identities or residence of the suspects?
  • Who has more details on the crime scene or the escape direction?

BVG and their reaction to violent incidents

The Berlin transport companies are under pressure to ensure the safety of their passengers. Additional measures, such as increasing security personnel to relevant lines, are necessary to counteract such incidents. The reactions from the community show that trust in public security is fragile and has to be improved.

The criminal police of Directorate 5 in Berlin-Moabit accepts information about the telephone number (030) 4664-574118 during the office times and (030) 4664-571100 outside of these times. A contact by email or via the internet guard is also possible.
