Germany: Man beaten into coma by convicted Ethiopian refugee

Brutal attack in the Saxon Aue. An Ethiopian known to the police is said to have injured a man so badly on New Year's Eve that he even had to be put into a coma. The African was already known for assault. An arrest warrant has now been issued.

Aue - Arrest warrant has been issued against a previously convicted Ethiopian known to the police. He is said to have brutally attacked and seriously injured a 38-year-old man in Aue, Saxony, on New Year's Eve. According to information from Junge Freiheit, the victim had to be put into an artificial coma.

The attacks were so severe that the public prosecutor's office in Chemnitz assumes "an attempted homicide". "An Ethiopian citizen known to the police soon became the focus of the criminalists, who were finally able to confirm the suspicion against the 23-year-old," said the police and the public prosecutor's office. The fugitive was arrested on Wednesday.

The Ethiopian is to be brought before the Chemnitz District Court today. The alleged thug had a criminal record for theft and was on probation. A spokeswoman for the Chemnitz public prosecutor's office told Junge Freiheit that he had already attracted attention with a bodily harm offence. “The investigations continue. The injured 38-year-old is now able to speak again, but is still being treated as an inpatient in a hospital.”
