Germany: Mob Attacks Greeks in Berlin

[NYT - Europe]

The police said they had arrested 11 members of a mob that shouted xenophobic slurs and attacked three Greeks at a gas station in eastern Berlin over the weekend. A police spokesman said at least 13 attackers punched and kicked two Greek men while hurling insults at them for being foreigners. The attackers pushed and shoved the victims’ Greek female companion but did not injure her. The attack occurred just weeks after a mob of 50 people shouting racial insults attacked eight Indians near Dresden.
