A man was assaulted tonight and severely injured by an attacker on the Berlin Holocaust Memorial enclosure, which marks the Jewish genocide by the Nazis, police reported.
“An unknown attacked the man” around 6:00 pm local (17:00 from Lisbon) and then fled, added the Berlinense police spokeswoman.
A major police operation was launched throughout the area to try to find him, while the victim was transported to the hospital. Several attack witnesses also received care from emergency services.
Inaugurated in 2005 in the center of the capital, near the Brandeburg door and the US embassy, the memorial, with more than 2,000 concrete tombstones, recalls more than six million Jews exterminated by the Adolf Hitler regime during the third Reich ( 1933-1945).
The zone was isolated, three fire vehicles, about ten police vehicles, and a focus of light was visible over the scene to illuminate it.
The authorities have not so far provided details about the reason for the aggression.
But this occurred the same day the police reported the arrest of an 18 -year -old Russian citizen suspected of planning a “politically motivated attack” in Berlin, two days from the legislative elections in Germany.
According to various media, including diaries Tagesspiegel and Bild, the suspect is a Chechen who will have planned an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin.
Newspapers speak of Islamite motivations and the suspect was present today to an instructional judge.
