Nineteen individuals were identified by the police as being under suspicion
On Friday, August 8, a confrontation took place in the German city of Essen-Kray during the dispersal of rallies. A verbal argument escalated into physical violence on a bus at the Kiwittstraße stop, resulting in four people being lightly injured.
Members of a right-wing group allegedly attacked members of the counter-protest, punching and kicking them. Police President Andreas Stuve made a comment on the incident, stating, "Right-wing extremists have no place in our city."
The incident involved participants of a right-wing rally boarding a bus that already had counter-protesters on board. The police intervened immediately and identified 19 suspects, including 16 men and three women aged 13 to 45.
Stuve indicated that attacks on rally participants will not be tolerated. He emphasised the importance of high personnel deployment and control measures, stating, "The incident emphasises the importance of high personnel deployment and control measures."
Seven of the suspects are minors, and their guardians were immediately notified. The swift intervention of a police tactical unit prevented further escalation. Stuve promised to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Initial investigations by the police's state protection department are ongoing. Stuve stated that the police demonstrated an immediate and decisive response to the incident.
