In Gesundbrunnen last night, a disturbing incident unfolded as a conflict escalated between a 28-year-old man and three acquaintances in Drontheimer Street. The incident, which occurred around 23:00, took a violent turn when one of the individuals pulled out what appeared to be a loaded gun and shot the 28-year-old in the foot.

A passerby, noticing the injured man on the ground, alerted the police, leading to the prompt arrival of emergency services. The injured man was bleeding from his foot and was transported to a hospital for inpatient treatment of his gunshot wound.

The Public Prosecutor's Office Berlin issued an arrest warrant and a search warrant against a 32-year-old man in Wedding. The arrest took place on Monday evening by police forces from Police Directorate 1 (North) and the special forces, around 22:30, in Reinickendorf Street.

During the arrest, the suspect sustained injuries that were treated on-site. The man is now in custody and is suspected of injuring another man with a firearm, leading to an investigation for dangerous bodily harm.

The seized evidence is being evaluated, and a specialized commission of Police Directorate 1 (North) has taken over the further investigation, including the search for the perpetrator. The arrest warrant was upheld by an investigating judge today.

Further investigations, including the background of the crime, continue. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining peace and promoting a safe environment for all residents.
