A 17-year-old boy voluntarily surrendered to the police after confessing to attacking a German politician, Matthias Ecke, a candidate for the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the upcoming European elections. The incident occurred while Ecke was putting up campaign posters in Dresden, East Germany. The minor admitted to the assault at a police station in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Saxony Police reported that the minor was not acting alone, with three other individuals suspected of participating in the attack. However, their current whereabouts remain unknown. Another campaigner, representing the Greens Party, was also targeted by the group of four assailants.
