Armed man in Zehlendorf: SEK intervenes and makes an arrest!
A sensational incident occurred in Berlin-Zehlendorf at the beginning of this week. On the morning of Tuesday, September 30, 2025, police arrested a man who was previously seen with a “weapon-like object” in a residential area. The situation caused great concern for the police and attracted numerous emergency services to Windsteiner Weg, Sachlebenstrasse and Ebersteinweg.
Regarding the details of what happened: Witnesses observed the man going into a building, which prompted the police to intervene immediately. Special Operations Command (SEK) forces were activated and arrested the suspect in his apartment. The man reportedly suffered minor injuries and required medical attention from firefighters before being taken to hospital. Information about the exact background to the incident and the man's identity is still missing, which is fueling public speculation. The dangerous situation in Breitensteinweg has now been declared over and the barriers have been gradually lifted. A nearby daycare center, which remained closed in the meantime, was able to reopen later, which made it easier for parents.

The case of Zehlendorf makes it clear how important a quick and effective police response is. Averting danger must be the top priority in such situations. With a trained and well-equipped team, the police responded quickly to minimize potential risks.
