Berlin police detained over 300 people on New Year’s Eve after at least 14 on-duty officers were injured as people shot fireworks at each other and police throughout the city.
One of the incidents occurred near Alexanderplatz where around 500 people were letting off fireworks at each other before police dispersed the group at the landmark Neptune Fountain, reported DW.
The crowd fired at police with pyrotechnics when they tried to check them for fireworks, according to the outlet.
Security was high across Germany ahead of the final night of the year, with police detaining three more suspects on Sunday in an alleged Islamist plot to attack Germany’s famed Cologne Cathedral on New Year’s Eve.
