Berlin police said on X that they had traced the chief suspect, 21-year-old Abdul Ballout, to an allotment complex in the western Spandau district at around 6:00 pm (1600 GMT) on Sunday.
Ballout “ran towards them with a bladed weapon,” the police said, prompting officers to open fire, “injuring the suspect so that he died at the scene despite attempts to resuscitate him.”
