Berlin teen arrested after pistol threat and police chase in Karow

An 18-year-old suspect was arrested in Berlin’s Karow district last night after allegedly threatening a victim with a pistol. Police pursued the man on foot before detaining him following a confrontation with officers.

The incident began when the suspect reportedly approached a 27-year-old, brandished a firearm, and demanded money. Officers quickly located the man near the crime scene and gave chase. During the pursuit, the suspect fired a replica gun at one of the officers but missed. No injuries were reported among the police.
