Over 400 rioters gathered in Sonnenallee and attacked police officers, resulting in the throwing of stones and bottles, the burning of garbage cans, and even an explosive device being hurled at police and their vehicle. Tires and garbage bins were repeatedly set on fire, leading to the use of water cannons by the police, as the firefighters were unable to provide security due to the dangers posed by the rioters. Around midnight, several fire engines arrived at the housing estate on Sonnenallee/Michael-Bohnen-Ring, but attackers set them on fire in various locations.
