Overview
- In Nuremberg around 6:10 p.m. Saturday, a 29-year-old approached a political party information stand, shouted “Heil Hitler,” and gave the Hitler salute, according to police.
- The stand was identified by police as belonging to the SPD, and the suspect fled toward Christuskirche before being detained shortly afterward.
- Two witnesses pursued the fleeing man, and police say he insulted a 25-year-old witness during the chase, prompting an additional allegation of insult.
- In Klagenfurt later that evening, an apparently intoxicated 25-year-old allegedly harassed patrons, displayed the Hitler salute, and shouted national-socialist slogans at officers, police said.
- The Nuremberg suspect faces an investigation for using symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations and suspected insult, while the Klagenfurt man was arrested and reported under Austria’s public order laws.
