On Saturday night a Jewish student was knocked down and seriously injured in Berlin. The perpetrator is said to have been a fellow student. The background to the crime may have been a dispute over the victim’s political activities.
The 30-year-old stands up for the interests of Jewish students at the Free University in Berlin. The victim was traveling with a 24-year-old acquaintance when the 23-year-old fellow student, who allegedly represented pro-Palestinian views, confronted the two. According to police, a verbal argument ensued that quickly turned physical.
The attacker fled and was arrested a short time later
The 30-year-old was knocked down and then kicked as he lay on the ground. The victim had to be taken to hospital with multiple facial fractures. His alleged attacker, who had fled, was captured by police at his apartment a short time later. According to media reports, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has also become involved in the investigation.
The 30-year-old’s companion denied in the online edition of “Zeit” that there had been a fight between the two students. On the contrary, the 23-year-old pointed out the man’s involvement with his fellow Jewish students and then launched his attack.
