Berlin tragedy: Armed man holds cashier in shop for 11 hours

A man armed with a knife entered a local supermarket in the district of Marienfelde, south of Berlin, and took a cashier hostage. The incident began shortly before 10 PM on Friday and lasted over 11 hours. According to reports, the man refused to place items on the conveyor belt at checkout and instead pulled out a large knife, taking the employee hostage. One of the employees managed to escape and call for help, prompting police to establish a security perimeter around the area and deploy specialized units, including negotiators and emergency services. After a prolonged operation involving multiple police rotations and negotiations, authorities successfully rescued the hostage and apprehended the suspect by early Sunday morning.
