CCTV footage capturing the moment a woman was kicked down stairs at a metro station by an unidentified man in an apparently unprovoked attack in the early hours of the morning is doing the rounds on social media.
The footage of the incident - which occurred after midnight on Oct. 27, in Neukölln subway station, Berlin – shows the woman walking down the stairs towards the metro line. As she walked down the stairs a man in a leatherjacket and a baseball cap - who appeared to be drinking – appeared from behind her and kicked her – causing her to fall down the steps.
According to German newspaper Bild, the police are not pursuing the man - despite the apparently violent nature of the attack and haven’t yet determined whether the video evidence would be suitable as evidence.
