A woman has been arrested after four people were found dead and another seriously injured at a hospital near Berlin.
The dead and injured were reportedly patients at the specialist orthopaedic clinic.
“The victims showed signs of significant external violence,” police spokesman Thorsten Herbst told The Associated Press.
Mr Herbst said the detained woman was “urgently suspected” of the killings, but declined to provide further details.
The 51-year-old woman, who is an employee of the Oberlin Clinic in Potsdam, is the prime suspect in their deaths.
A spokesman for Brandenburg state police said officers were called to the clinic shortly before 9pm on Wednesday (local time). There was a chaplain on site at the same time.
Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg, the state that surrounds the German capital. According to its website, the Oberlin Clinic has 160 beds and 300 staff.
The Tagesspiegel newspaper reported the incident occurred at a unit where people with mental development issues are treated for muscle and skeletal illnesses.
