The man accused of brutally kicking a woman down a flight of stairs in Berlin has also been implicated in sexually harassing women and girls in the past, local media report. Berliner Kurier reported similar incidents, but wrote that the park incident had involved one woman. The newspaper further wrote that the suspect reportedly had deliberately masturbated in direct view of the women. The U-Bahn station attack last October was captured on surveillance video, which was later released by police to identify the culprit. The main suspect was arrested in December after he returned to Berlin from France, where he had reportedly been hiding.
