A frightening picture: a man in shorts lying on a hospital bed. He is wearing a cervical brace and has a backpack next to him. The image has been provided with a clearly visible note in color.

“Please share” reads. This request refers to the content of the text that was written for the image. The text describes an attack on the man and his family in Leipzig. According to the text, this attack took place on June 10, 2018 in Leipzig, in which not only the man but, according to the author, his wife was also attacked and injured.

The author describes how four Arabs blocked his and his family's path during a bike ride and then attacked him. He is now looking for witnesses to the incident, as it is also mentioned that the perpetrators fled after the attack.

Inquiry to the police

We contacted the Leipzig police about this. On the one hand, the press office of the Leipzig police confirmed that they were aware of the case and referred us to an article in the Leipziger Volkszeitung (article from June 12, 2018). According to the article, the police searched the crime scene extensively immediately after the crime, but so far without success. The police commented to the LVZ as follows:

“We now have to record the witness statements first. The victims have not yet been interviewed,” said police spokesman Michael Fengler. He could therefore not say anything about the identity or origin of the perpetrators. “This is part of our investigative work,” said Fengler.

The police are also looking for witnesses to the incident for further investigations. Tips can be received at the Leipzig Police Department, Dimitroffstrasse 1, telephone 0341/ 96646666 or at any other station.

According to the article, the father of the family also hopes that passers-by observed the attack. “It is difficult for me to give a description of the perpetrators because I still have gaps in my memory,” he explained.
