Berlin police say they have detained a man who attacked and injured two people in the city’s Charlottenburg neighborhood, further jolting Germany days after a deadly Christmas market attack elsewhere

Several people intervened after the suspect began stabbing people in the German capital's Charlottenburg neighborhood, a Berlin newspaper said.

Germany's interior minister said on Monday it was still too soon to jump to any conclusions about the man suspected of driving his car into a Christmas market in Magdeburg and killing at least five people.

A Saudi doctor drove into a market teeming with holiday shoppers in Magdeburg, an official said, as people mourned the victims and their shaken sense of security. Some 200 people were injured.
