Can u Kick it??

July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Berlin police arrested two men accused of filling soccer balls with concrete and placing them throughout the city, inviting passers-by to try out their shooting prowess with a red-painted label ``can u kick it.'' Two men were injured.  The accused, aged 26 and 29, may face assault charges, the police said in a statement yesterday. Authorities had sought the perpetrators since June 30, when two men stepped up to the

challenge and sustained injuries. Six such balls were found in total, chained to the ground, to lampposts and trees.``Investigations into the background of this act are continuing,'' the police said.  Millions of soccer fans from around the world have descended on the city in the past month for the World Cup tournament, which ends July 9 in Berlin's Olympic Stadium  when France plays Italy.  Clues led police to an apartment in central Berlin, where they found a ``workshop'' rigged to manufacture the weighty globes. The two men had apparently already filled three soccer balls and ``several'' others were on the way, police said. They also uncovered cans of spray paint, chains and a casting mold.
