In a series of events that unfolded over the course of several days, police officers in Cologne, Germany, have been actively identifying a violent attack that took place on September 12, 2025.
The initial arrests were made on September 12, when police officers executed arrest warrants against two 19-year-old suspects. Since then, intensive investigations and the evaluation of private video recordings have led to the identification of five additional suspects.
