In Berlin, far-right extremists attacked members of Scholz's party, leaving several injured.

A group of aggressive young individuals with far-right views attacked campaigners from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in Berlin. As a result of the incident, two police officers and one member of the political party were injured.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing ntv.

According to the investigation, the assailants confronted representatives of the Social Democrats near their campaign booth at a bus stop. Two suspects, in coordination with two others, initially knocked the hats off two SPD activists and then began to insult and physically assault them.

The victims fell to the ground, while the attackers struck them on the head and upper body. Two police officers intervened. One of the officers faced a racial insult from one of the suspects and was later injured in the face by a shard of broken glass. The other officer had a metacarpal bone broken by the radicals.

The assault was only brought to a halt with the arrival of additional emergency services. Both injured police officers and the SPD activist were taken to the hospital.

The police and prosecutors have launched an investigation. A petition has been filed to detain all four suspects, aged between 16 and 19.

The crimes are classified under two counts of causing serious bodily harm, with one case involving an assault on law enforcement officers in a particularly serious manner.

Aggressive Demonstration

Authorities do not rule out the possibility that the assailants traveled to the capital to participate in a demonstration in the Friedrichshain area. The far-right march involved 63 participants, while the counter-demonstration attracted at least 2000 people. About 1000 officers were deployed by law enforcement.

During the demonstrations, objects and smoke bombs were thrown onto the road, and stones and bottles were hurled at the police, with journalists also being injured.

As a result of the aggressive demonstrations, 40 criminal investigations have been initiated. A total of 31 police officers sustained injuries.

Deteriorating Crime Situation in Germany

In recent months, Germany has seen an increase in violent attacks by teenagers against politicians and immigrants from other countries.

In May of this year, in Dresden, four men assaulted SPD candidate for the European Parliament Matthias Eke. He was taken to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.

In February, in Düsseldorf, a gang of minors killed two Ukrainian basketball players, aged 17 and 18.

The court imposed lengthy prison sentences on the offenders. Two of the convicted have German citizenship, while the others hold Syrian citizenship.
