The disturbing confrontation unfolded just days after an 18-year-old German-Iranian man opened fire in a crowded Munich shopping mall and a nearby McDonald’s. The attack, which sent shockwaves throughout Germany, left nine people dead and wounded 16 others. While the country, still shaken by the attack, attempts to reinstate order, a disturbance caught on camera at the makeshift memorial for the shooting saw the mourners dramatically turn on each other.

The video exposes the tensions running high throughout the country as both Germany and France have been hit by several attacks in recent weeks. During the incident, a group of Muslim men arrived at the memorial and disrupted silent mourners who had gathered together at the scene to pay their respects to the dead. They repeatedly chanted “Allahu Akbar!", an Islamic phrase that translates to “God is the greatest.” The Italian news outlet Il Fatto Quotidiano released the footage of the confrontation which took place on Sunday evening.

Many reports in the shooting's immediate aftermath assumed the attacker had terrorist intentions but officials are now ruling this out. The disturbance at the memorial became so fraught that police had to eventually intervene. In the short video, a well-built man tries to shout down "a group of young Muslim men" who are all chanting “Allahu Akbar”. One of the men in the video can be seen criticising the "unjust world we live in". Il Fatto Quotidiano reported that the young men had actually lost friends in the attack and had come to mourn.
