Suspected Right-Wing Attack Targets Refugee Shelter in Stahnsdorf

Three suspects are under investigation for alleged violent assault on a refugee accommodation in Brandenburg, with authorities probing possible extremist motives.

  • A group of individuals attacked a refugee shelter in Stahnsdorf, Brandenburg, during the early hours of Saturday, injuring a security guard who required hospital treatment.
  • Three suspects were arrested near the scene, with one reportedly carrying a knife; they are being investigated for dangerous bodily harm.
  • Eyewitnesses reported hearing right-wing slogans, including 'Heil Hitler,' and observed attempts to force entry into the shelter, resulting in property damage such as broken windows.
  • Authorities have not confirmed the motive but are considering a possible extremist background, as the attack follows other recent incidents in the region linked to right-wing activity.
  • The mayor of Stahnsdorf condemned the attack as cowardly and unrepresentative of the community, calling for strict prosecution of such intimidation attempts.
