Horrible beating of a man (23) in Berlin-Neukölln, because he was openly wearing a crucifix!

The police said on Tuesday that the man had been walking close to the surface and underground railway station Neukölln at around 10 pm and was making a telephone call. Suddenly two men approached him and spoke to him about the crucifix he was wearing around his neck, asking why he had become a Christian.

Then one of them is said to have torn the chain from his neck and thrown it on the ground. He then beat the 23-year-old several times in the face with his fist. The second man allegedly held him while the first attacker jabbed him twice in the upper body.

The attackers then fled, leaving the injured man behind. The victim informed acquaintances with his mobile phone, who then called the police and emergency forces. Medics took the 23-year-old for out-patient treatment in a clinic. The State Protection office of the Berlin State Criminal Investigations department is conducting investigations.
