An infantry shovel attacked a man dressed in military clothing on a Jewish student in front of a synagogue in Hamburg on Sunday afternoon, writes mti based on the Süddeutsche Zeitung. The newspaper was informed that the victim of the apparently anti-Semitic attack was taken to hospital with a serious head injury. The attacker was intercepted by the synagogue’s community security service. A 29-year-old man was arrested, according to a Hamburg police report on Sunday night.
The incident took place near the anniversary of the last serious anti-Semitic crime in Germany, the armed attack on the Halle synagogue last October. The attacker’s clothing also evokes the incident of October 9, 2019.
The Halle attacker, according to authorities, attempted to enter the synagogue, which housed 70 to 80 believers, for a far-right anti-Semitic motive, on the occasion of the main Jewish religious holiday, Good Kympur, on the Day of Atonement. The German wanted to mimic similar acts of terrorism in the past and encourage others to follow suit, so he announced his intention and posted a proclamation on the internet before the attack. He was unable to pass through the doors of the synagogue in the provincial city of Saxony-Anhalt, nor did he enter the cemetery adjoining the building. After the unsuccessful attack, he shot a young woman from behind on the street who was walking there, then drove his car to a nearby Turkish buffet where he shot a man and fled.
During the escape, he became involved in a shootout with the police and was injured. He began shooting again in a nearby town, wounding two people, leaving his car behind and robbing a taxi. He was finally captured about 30 miles from Halle after driving a truck.
