One woman sustained minor injuries, while other people who were attacked were reportedly uninjured. A witness had also reported that the man threatened a passer-by with a screwdriver on Friesenstraße. The suspect was due to be brought before a remand judge, and investigations into individual incidents and possible additional affected people continue.
