A knife-wielding man attacked people leaving a gala ceremony for Berlin's new central rail station last night, injuring at least nine before being arrested, police said.
"A crazy man ran down the street stabbing people arbitrarily," a policeman at the scene told Reuters.
The attacks occurred shortly after the opening ceremony of the glass-covered, five-storey "Hauptbahnhof" in central Berlin, where Chancellor Angela Merkel and Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit had given speeches.
