The incident took place during the skiing trip between Dec 9 and 17 organised by the Athletics Union. A number of students were playing the game – a variation of a game called Ring of Fire – but modified it to include references to Nazis. Tensions escalated when a 20-year-old Jewish student complained that the game was offensive and was allegedly ridiculed for his comments. He was then involved in a brawl with a fellow student which left him with a broken nose.
