Video reveals fatal attack in Germany

A SURVEILLANCE video yesterday showed the fatal attack on a young woman after she defended two teenage girls from male harassment — a death that has been mourned with candlelight vigils across Germany.

Daily paper Bild published the video on its website, calling on witnesses, including the teenage girls, to come forward with more information about the attack on the night of November 15 in front of a fast-food restaurant in Offenbach in central Germany.

Tugce Albayrak died on Friday, her 23rd birthday, after her family gave doctors permission to switch off her life support. She had been in a coma after being struck in the head.

The video in which she is injured shows an enraged man, identified by Bild as 18-year-old Sanel M. who is in police custody, who is held back by another young man as he appears to want to run in the direction of Albayrak. Because the incident happened at 4am, it’s dark and many of the people’s movements on the video are hard to identify. Sanel M. appears to hit Albayrak on the head, while the other young man is still trying to protect her, and she falls on the ground and stops moving.
