German police have arrested a teen suspect in an anti-Semitic attack against two men who were wearing traditional Jewish skullcaps while walking central Berlin. A video of the assault, filmed by one of the victims, went viral on social media and sparked fears of a resurgence of anti-Semitic violence. Police have revealed that a 19-year-old suspect they had already identified from the footage and from witness statements had presented himself with a lawyer. The man who was viciously lashed with a belt in the anti-Semitic attack says he's not actually Jewish and was wearing the skullcap as an experiment. We weren't talking with anyone else,' Mr Armush told Israeli broadcaster Kan, according to Times of Israel.
