An American whose face was slashed on a tram in Germany has claimed Europe has an “immigration problem,” echoing rhetoric used by President Donald Trump after police identified a suspect in the attack as a Syrian man.
Two men were harassing a group of women on the tram in Dresden early Sunday morning when John Rudat, a paramedic and model from New York State, intervened, German police said. The 20-year-old was then stabbed, and the perpetrators fled.
