A 19-year-old Syrian man suspected of stabbing a Spanish tourist at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial had planned for several weeks to kill Jewish people, Berlin police believe.
The attack took place on Friday evening, with the assailant approaching the 30-year-old victim from behind before stabbing him and fleeing the scene.
A man was arrested nearby after police noticed blood stains on his hands and clothing.
The suspect was carrying a prayer rug, a copy of the Quran, and the suspected weapon in his backpack, suggesting "a religious motivation", police said.
Police say they are examining possible connections to the current Middle East conflict - but said there is currently no evidence of links to any groups or individuals.
