Seven months after the attack on the Brandenburg state rabbi Ariel Kirzon, investigators in Berlin have been able to locate a suspect. As the police announced on Thursday, information from the population led to the identification of the man. The investigations of the state security continued.
The incident happened on September 13 last year on the mezzanine level of the Westphalweg underground station in the Mariendorf district. Kirzon, 43, was traveling with his son and talking on the phone in Hebrew when an unidentified man bumped into him and used anti-Semitic insults. Kirzon told rbb in September that he had been insulted as a “terrible shit Jew”.
The suspect then got on a train and drove away. The officials secured the video recordings of the train station, and they published two photos in the hope of information from the population.
