A man was anti-Semitic insulted and attacked at a Berlin station. A stranger on Saturday evening at the Nikolassee S-Bahn station was cheering the 19-year-old in Hebrew, as the police announced on Sunday.
The attacker threw a stone in the direction of the young man of Jewish faith, who was wearing a kippah at the time. He did not meet him though. Subsequently, the attacker escaped unrecognized before the alerted security forces arrived.
The state security investigates on suspicion of attempted dangerous assault and anti-Semitic insult.
Last year in Berlin, the attack on two Kippa-bearing men had caused a stir. One young man insulted them in April and beat one of the young men with his belt. The district court Tiergarten sentenced the Syrian in June after juvenile justice to a detention of four weeks.
