A 36-year-old SPD city council candidate was pushed and insulted while distributing election advertising in Gera on Sunday. The suspected perpetrator was a 56-year-old, the police said. The local politician was just throwing notes into mailboxes when a resident pushed him in the chest and insulted him.
The candidate was not injured, it was said. Criminal proceedings were initiated against the alleged attacker for insult and bodily harm. There was initially no information about the motives for the attack.
