Attack on Refugee Shelter in Stahnsdorf Sparks Investigation into Suspected Right-Wing Violence

Three suspects are under investigation for allegedly assaulting a security guard and attempting to break into a refugee accommodation near Berlin.

A group of six to seven men reportedly attacked a refugee shelter in Stahnsdorf, Brandenburg, on the night of March 8, injuring a security guard who required hospitalization.
Witnesses and residents allege the attackers shouted Nazi slogans, including 'Heil Hitler,' and attempted to force entry into the building using tools like a glass cutter.
The suspects also caused property damage, breaking windows and attempting to steal bicycles belonging to residents of the shelter.
Three individuals were arrested near the scene, and police reportedly found a knife on one of the suspects; investigations are ongoing into charges of dangerous bodily harm.
Local officials, including Stahnsdorf's mayor, have condemned the attack, linking it to a broader pattern of right-wing violence in the region, including recent incidents targeting other facilities.
