German Left-Wing Politician Gökay Akbulut Attacked on Train by Football Fans

The Bundestag member was racially and sexually harassed before being struck with a beer bottle during a train journey from Heidelberg to Stuttgart.

Gökay Akbulut, a Bundestag member from the Left Party, was assaulted and harassed by a group of football fans in a train on Saturday night.
The men reportedly shouted racist and sexist remarks, chanted far-right AfD slogans, and escalated to throwing a beer bottle that injured Akbulut's forehead.
Akbulut documented the incident with photos and videos, later posting about it on Instagram, where she criticized the societal climate surrounding migration debates.
The politician received medical attention for her injuries, which were not severe, and the federal police have launched an investigation into the attack.
The incident has drawn widespread condemnation, with calls for stronger measures against extremist behavior and support for Akbulut from fellow politicians.
