Police shot and wounded a knife-wielding man inside Berlin's main cathedral today but said there was no indication the assailant had a "terrorist" motive.
Officers cordoned off the entrances to the landmark in the heart of the German capital after the incident, in which one policeman was also hurt by what was believed to be a police bullet.
About 100 people were visiting the cathedral at the time of the incident and had been evacuated by staff by the time two police officers arrived at the scene. "Shortly after 4 pm (1400 GMT) police shot at a rampaging man at Berlin Cathedral," police said in a tweet.
"He was wounded in the leg."
