Overview
- Police say two women first approached and hurled anti‑Israel insults at the man before two men intervened and beat him with punches and kicks.
- The attackers and the two women fled the Rathausufer/Rheinufer scene without being identified or detained and the case is being treated as a suspected politically motivated crime.
- Investigators have handed the matter to the Staatsschutz and released a partial description of one male suspect as having dark shoulder‑length curly hair and wearing a red tracksuit.
- Three bystanders tried to stop the assault and one of those witnesses was struck and suffered minor injuries while intervening.
- Local Jewish leaders called the episode alarming and urged thorough police clarification, and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Düsseldorf police’s Staatsschutz unit.
