Teenager apprehended for alleged electrocution incident
On August 31, 2025, a disturbance took place at the Berliner Platz central bus station in Berlin, Germany, around 2:30 PM. Witnesses reported an argument between two 17-year-olds and a married couple on a bus.
The altercation escalated, leading to a 50-year-old woman being injured on her arm and a 38-year-old woman reporting being attacked and kicked. According to reports, one of the 17-year-olds allegedly tried to escalate the situation so his friend could use an electroshock device, which was found hidden behind the seats in the last row of the bus.
The police officers on the scene quickly intervened, escorting both 17-year-olds off the bus. One of the teenagers was charged with dangerous bodily harm and violating the weapons law, while the other was released after consultation with his legal guardian.
The electroshock device was confiscated by the police as evidence. The search results do not provide information about the name of the 17-year-old involved in the incident at the ZOB in Berlin on 31.08.2025.
The incident has caused concern among commuters and local authorities, who are urging for increased security measures at public transport hubs. The police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
