A major police operation unfolded in Berlin's Neukölln district after a man fled during a routine check at the S-Bahn station, leaving behind a bag containing explosives.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of October 30, 2024, when federal police attempted to control the suspect, who then escaped, abandoning the explosive-laden bag.

The police safely transported the bag to a nearby park, where experts conducted a controlled detonation, ensuring no danger to residents.

The type of explosive remains unidentified, and the suspect is still at large.

Authorities are investigating all possibilities, with no current evidence of a thwarted terror attack, though the state security department is involved.

The investigation continues as police search for the fugitive.
