The attackers shouted at their victim that this was their country.
German state police are looking for a group of migrants who allegedly beat up a middle-aged man dressed as Santa Claus on his way to an event in Hesse. The 54-year-old victim was supposed to perform in the city of Kassel on December 6, when the gang of young people attacked him, reports v4na.com .
According to the victim, Rainer B., the gang consisted of several teenagers aged around 15 with a migrant background. He told police that he was insulted, called a "slut" and a "fat man" and told to take off his Santa costume. They shouted that they were Muslims and that Germany was their country, the newspaper Hessische Allgemeine reported.
The victim noted that
several people witnessed the attack and instead of intervening, they laughed and applauded the migrant attackers.
After filing a complaint with the authorities, the case was transferred to the State Security Office.
The attacked man went to the event despite what happened - although his clothes were torn in several places. She said that won't stop her from dressing up for the kids next year. In the future, however, he will also carry pepper spray to protect himself.
