Jewish man spat on, threatened in front of children while walking in Berlin

A Jewish man and his children were spat at and verbally assaulted as they walked down a street in Berlin yesterday, Bild reports.

According to the German outlet, the 48-year-old was wearing a kippah as he walked with two children on Uhlandstrasse in Charlottenburg, when the 31-year-old suspect began threatening and insulting him. The newspaper does not detail what was said.

Berlin Police say in a statement that the suspect then spat in the face of the victim and toward the children.

He was arrested on the scene and taken for a blood test, police say.

Bild says police are investigating whether the motive for the assault was antisemitism.
