Racist attack on Afghan: Police are looking for witnesses in Niederndodeleben

in Magdeburg, more precisely in the district of Niederndodeleben, an outrageous incident occurred, which once again illustrates the shock waves of right -wing extremism. In the broad day, an Afghanin was attacked by four people, not only physical violence was used, but also racist insults fell. This incident published by the police on Sunday is an alarming example of the growing xenophobia in society.

The Afghanin was on the way home from work around 3 p.m. when the mischief revealed itself. She was just preparing to climb the train when she was suddenly addressed by a woman. This asked the insolent question of their origin, which served as an excuse for the subsequent assault.

the brutal attack

After the Afghanin reacted to the provocation, a male attacker immediately grabbed her on the wrist. This was apparently the signal for the female actor and the other three men to also pass the defenseless victim. In the middle of this brutal attack, a witness heard one of the attackers called that foreign citizens were not welcome. Such statements not only show the racist motifs behind this act of violence, but also illustrate the aggressive attitude of a minority within society.

The attackers left their injured victims behind and fled in an unknown direction. The police are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators. Anyone who has information is asked to report on 03904/4780. Such an initiative of the police is crucial to hold those responsible for accounting and to restore public security.

This incident throws a bright light on the challenges with which many migrants and people with a migration background are confronted in Germany. It is a depressing manifesto of intolerance that cannot be viewed in isolation, but is part of a greater social phenomenon that we are not allowed to ignore.

The risk of extremist attacks is real, and the deeds of these four people are not only an attack on the individual, but also on the values of open society, which are held up in many parts of Germany. The police operation is a step in the right direction, but it is to be hoped that such terrible incidents will become less common in the future. The community is responsible for promoting understanding and tolerance and intervening against any form of racism and xenophobia.
