Berlin Court Orders Psychiatric Detention for Giffey Attacker

A 75-year-old man who attacked Berlin's Economic Senator Franziska Giffey is to be held in a psychiatric hospital following a court ruling.

The court's decision follows the prosecution's request for the attacker's indefinite psychiatric detention.
The defense argued against the ruling, claiming the absence of significant unlawful acts by the defendant.
The defendant admitted to striking Giffey with a bag containing newspapers, intending to give her a 'lesson.'
The attacker, known for previous offenses dismissed due to insanity, suffers from a delusional disorder.
The court's ruling is not yet legally binding, pending potential appeals or further legal actions.
