Brutal attack on Iran demonstrators in Berlin! There, four participants in a vigil were beaten, kicked and injured with a knife on Sunday night.
The police received the alarm around 1:15 a.m. An employee of the central object protection had noticed to the Iranian embassy in Berlin-Dahlem how three masked people tore banners and flags from a caravan.
The car is part of a permanent vigil from October 17th to November 17th. Eight people are registered. Topic: “Vigil for killed women – movement, protest against terror regime in Iran”.
After the security guard called the police, he asked the rioters to stop their actions. Vain.

Shortly thereafter, the strangers tried to open the door of the trailer in which four demonstrators (34, 37, 55 and 63 years old) were. The men came out.
Immediately there was a brief scuffle and a verbal argument between the two groups, the police said on Sunday.
The three attackers then reportedly ran away, with the men from the trailer following them! Eventually they caught up with her. And now the attackers are said to have brutally attacked the four demonstrators!
► The 34-year-old said he was hit in the back with a wooden stick. The men are also said to have kicked him after he fell to the ground.
► The 37-year-old complained of severe pain.
► The men are said to have cut the 63-year-old’s toe with a pointed object, probably a knife.
► The 55-year-old is said to have been pushed and fallen to the ground. He suffered a graze.
The injured men were taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment. Immediately after the attack, the attackers reportedly got into a car waiting on the opposite side of the street and sped away.

According to the police, the 34-year-old man from the caravan stated that he had been threatened with a firearm while still in the vehicle. He wasn’t hurt.
A search of the immediate area for the suspects was unsuccessful. The further investigations into a threat with a firearm, dangerous bodily harm in two cases and simple bodily harm in one case are being conducted by the state security police.
