Berlin police said on Tuesday that the tyres of some 50 luxury cars were damaged overnight by unknown assailants who left leaflets with pro-environment messages on the cars' windscreens.
A police spokeswoman said the activists let the air out of most of the tyres but some were also punctured. The large, up-market cars attacked were in two leafy sections of Berlin -- Zehlendorf and Charlottenburg.
She said that there had been a similar overnight attack a week ago in the Grunewald district when 21 cars were damaged. The leaflets pointed to the damage caused to the climate by cars, the spokeswoman said.
