The Federal Prosecutor's Office in Germany has taken over the investigation into a knife attack at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial, citing the case's national significance.
The suspect, a 19-year-old Syrian refugee, allegedly acted with radical Islamist and antisemitic motives and is accused of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.
The victim, a 30-year-old Spanish tourist, was critically injured and underwent emergency surgery; his condition is now stable.
