Four Assailants Stab Two Men in Berlin's Brutal Afternoon Robbery

A violent robbery in Berlin's Hellersdorf district left two men injured after they were attacked by four assailants. The incident took place on Ludwigsfelder Straße in the late afternoon, with one victim suffering multiple stab wounds. Police are now searching for the suspects, who fled the scene in a waiting car.

The attack happened at around 5:45 p.m. on Ludwigsfelder Straße. Two men, aged 22 and 25, were approached by four assailants who demanded they stop. When the victims refused and ran into a nearby building entrance, the attackers chased them.

One of the assailants pulled out a knife and stabbed the 25-year-old repeatedly in the arm. The group also struck both victims in the face multiple times. After the assault, the attackers stole a bag containing personal items, including IDs, cash, and mobile phones.

The suspects then escaped in a car driven by an unidentified accomplice, heading toward Alte Hellersdorfer Straße. The 25-year-old victim was taken to hospital for inpatient treatment, while the 22-year-old received outpatient care for minor facial injuries.

Berlin's robbery division of Police Directorate 3 (East) is leading the investigation. As of now, no suspects have been officially identified or charged in connection with the attack.

The victims remain under medical care following the assault. Police continue to investigate the robbery, though no arrests have been made so far. Authorities have not released further details about the ongoing search for the suspects.
