An investigation has been launched into the attempted murder of a 10-year-old Ukrainian boy after a man attacked a group of children for speaking Ukrainian in the city of Einbeck in Lower Saxony.
Details: The attack occurred at about 18:40 on 26 August in the town of Einbeck, Lower Saxony.
According to the police investigation, several Ukrainian children were standing near a bridge when an unknown man began to complain about them speaking Ukrainian.
The prosecutor's office alleges that the man pulled a girl’s hair, then grabbed a 10-year-old boy and threw him over the railing into the canal.
The boy hit some iron beams attached to the bridge.
While the boy was in the canal, the unknown attacker allegedly threw a glass bottle at him, which landed on the child's right shoulder.
The prosecutor general considers the attack politically motivated, reports the newspaper Die Welt, which also notes that the attacker spoke Russian. »
