A 30-year-old Jewish student was brutally assaulted and hospitalized with facial fractures by a 23-year-old pro-Palestinian student in Berlin this past weekend.
The assault occurred during a heated argument over the Gaza war, underscoring the alarming rise in antisemitic acts in Germany.
The assault took place in the Mitte district when the Jewish student, accompanied by a friend, encountered the pro-Palestinian assailant. Tempers flared during the argument, leading the pro-Palestinian student to violently attack the Jewish student.
The assailant punched him repeatedly, causing the victim to fall, and then proceeded to kick him while he was on the ground before fleeing the scene.
Berlin police swiftly located and arrested the attacker at his home in the Schönberg district, subsequently conducting a search of his residence and seizing his cell phone.
