BAt an unapproved meeting in Dortmund, a 23-year-old man attacked a camera team on Saturday afternoon. According to the police, the right-wing extremist hit the camera of a camera team and slightly injured a person. The police then took the attacker into police custody. Officials found that this was the same man who had previously insulted another media representative. The investigation is ongoing.
According to the police, the attacker is a 23-year-old right-wing extremist who previously mixed with other members of the scene known to the police among the assembly at the Alten Markt in Dortmund. The city and the police had temporarily banned an originally planned and planned rally at this location under the slogan “Not without us” and cited reasons related to the infection protection law. However, as of 3:30 p.m., up to 150 people were found on the Alter Markt and near Hansastraße, where the attack later took place. According to officials, the crowd quickly dissolved after the speaker announcements.
According to eyewitness accounts from Twitter users, the unauthorized meeting was a mix of Corona critics, anti-vaccine activists and right-wing extremists who gathered in various locations in the city center. According to Dortmund police, there was already some evidence beforehand that right-wing extremists observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution wanted to try to undermine the protests on Saturday in central Dortmund.
It is the third attack in a few weeks in which a camera team was attacked. During an undeclared demonstration against crown restrictions, an ARD camera team was last attacked on May 6 in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin. Police then arrested a protester.
On May the ZDF cameramen and accompanying security guards were injured. The heute-show team had been on the way to contribute to a demonstration against Corona’s measures. Meanwhile, the Berlin police are investigating a group of about fifteen people on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm. Members of the group are suspected of attacking six ZDF employees and injuring five, according to a press release from the Berlin police and the Berlin Attorney General.
