(Jerusalem Post) A 27-year-old woman is currently on trial after she reportedly assaulted a middle-aged Jewish woman after a lecture on antisemitism in Hamburg, Germany, local media reported on Tuesday.
German media outlet taz reported that the defendant, Ayan M., continually berated co-plantiff Elisabeth S., who was 56 at the time, after her husband gave a University of Hamburg lecture on antisemitism some 10 months ago. According to the indictment, she repeatedly called the plaintiff a “hideous witch” and threatened to punch her in the face, taz reported.
After she was repeatedly insulted, the plaintiff threatened to film the defendant. Ayan M. then repeatedly struck and strangled the plaintiff. Elisabeth sustained mild injuries after the encounter; she had bruising in several places on her body and strangulation marks around her neck, and her glasses were broken.
