Berlin: A shocking video has emerged in which a few migrants can be seen physically assaulting an elderly man who was reportedly protecting a young woman who was harassed by the migrants on a train in Munich, Germany, according to a report in the DailyMail.

The video shot from a mobile phone, shows the migrants brutally attacking an elderly man, holding him by the arms and even verbally abusing him.

Even as the old man was attacked, another victim was held by the neck and was threatened.

Tom Roth, a Munich resident, uploaded the video on his Facebook page which later went viral. He recorded the incident while he was travelling from Sendingler Tor to city central terminal.

Roth uploaded the video on Facebook with a post that read, “A woman was being assaulted on a metro train. When two old men tried to intervene and help her, they too were brutally attacked.”

He further wrote, when we were sitting in the train, one of the migrants bothered the lady. He said something to her to which she did not respond. As the journey continued, the migrant hit the window of the train with full force. He was angry as the lady rejected him, says Roth.

When the migrants further tried to misbehave with the woman, two gentlemen intervened and tried to help her and were attacked by the migrants. Roth believes that Angela Merkel should take strict action against the nuisance caused by migrants.

This incident comes in the wake of the recent New Year’s assaults by Arab and North African migrants on several women.
