Overview

• Prosecutors in Oldenburg charged a 35-year-old from Ganderkesee with dangerous bodily harm, using symbols of unconstitutional organizations, property damage, and insult.
• Investigators say the incident occurred on January 19 in Bookholzberg, where three Green campaign helpers were insulted and a poster was destroyed on Stedinger Straße.
• The suspect allegedly performed a Hitler salute while shouting “Deutschland den Deutschen,” then returned and kicked and struck one helper in the head.
• About three weeks later, doctors found bleeding between two brain membranes attributed to the attack, which had to be surgically removed.
• Authorities report heavy intoxication at the time; local media cite a police breath-alcohol reading of about 2.4‰, and the Delmenhorst district court will decide whether to open formal proceedings.
