Berlin Police<\/a> have arrested a 31-year-old man for an antisemitic attack on several people in Charlottenburg on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the investigation so far, at approximately 3:15 p.m., the reportedly Arab attacker followed a 47-year-old Jewish man and two children who were accompanying him, shouting antisemitic insults and spitting at them.<\/p>\n

When the older man, who was wearing a kippah<\/a>, confronted him, the younger man allegedly struck him in the face. Several people then rushed to the scene to help, including a 45-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman.<\/p>\n

The attacker allegedly directed antisemitic insults and threats at the woman, after which a physical altercation broke out between him and the 45-year-old man.<\/p>\n

The Berlin State Criminal Police Office State Security Division is now conducting the investigation.<\/p>\n

This comes amid antisemitic<\/a> incidents hitting an all-time high in Germany<\/a>, according to the new annual report by antisemitism watchdog RIAS.<\/p>\n

In 2025, RIAS recorded 8,725 antisemitic incidents, equating to roughly 24 cases per day.<\/p>\n

Across the year, RIAS documented 178 physical attacks and 257 threats. For example, in the city of Kehl, four members of a Jewish community were insulted and spat on outside a Jewish prayer room. In the state of Hesse, a rabbi was shoved in a supermarket in front of his children and had his phone snatched.<\/p>\n

In addition, there were four cases of extreme violence, including a terrorist attack at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Berlin Police have arrested a 31-year-old man for an antisemitic attack on several people in Charlottenburg on Saturday.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[111,13299,1902,63,170,42,43,31009,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-504336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-antisemitism","tag-berlin","tag-diaspora-jews","tag-europe","tag-germany","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-racism","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
