The Attorney General office in Berlin tweeted this morning that the 29-year-old had been detained after a gardener and passerby were attacked in the Wilmersdorf part of the German capital. Both victims suffered "serious injuries" during the attack which happened in a park at around 1.30pm local time yesterday, Berlin police said.
In a statement, the force said the suspect approached the 58-year-old woman and reportedly attacked her because he did not believe a woman should be doing such a job.
The man is then said to have stabbed the gardener several times in the neck, leaving her with serious injuries.
A 66-year-old man saw the attack unfold and "rushed" to help the woman, German police said.
The suspect is said to have then attacked the Good Samaritan - also leaving him with serious injuries, a police statement claimed.

Both victims remain in hospital after being treated for their injuries, police said.
Angela Merkel’s government has faced repeated attacks since welcoming tens of thousands of refugees from countries including Syria in 2015.
According to the UN’s refugee agency, European countries now host more than a million Syrian asylum-seekers and refugees.
Around 70 percent of these are hosted in two countries, with Germany taking 59 percent and Sweden 11 percent.
This huge influx of migrants has sparked a massive backlash - prompting the rise of populist far-right groups including Alternative for Germany.
As well as the sheer number of migrants, others claim that they often come from vastly different cultures which harbour archaic views on topics such as women's rights and LGBT issues.
Despite this fury, outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel has insisted she has no regrets about the decision six years ago.
Her likely successor Armin Laschet, the CDU’s party leader, has taken a different tact.
He recently warned against “repeating the mistakes of 2015” in an apparent bid to appease the outrage.
