Police probing ‘anti-Semitic attack’ on American Jewish tourist in Berlin

A Jewish American tourist in Berlin was attacked and injured in an anti-Semitic attack last night, Berlin police say.

The unnamed man, 23, was at a park around 9 p.m. in the Steglitz district of the city when three men accosted him, police say in a statement.

“The 23-year-old suffered a hematoma on the eye due to the blows to the face,” police say, adding that they have opened an investigation into the anti-Semitic incident since the man was attacked “because of his Jewish faith.”
