A 16-year-old insulted and attacked a trans woman in a Berlin hair salon. As the police announced on Sunday evening, the young person apparently entered the salon in the Friedrichsfelde district on Saturday to apologize to the trans woman who worked there. The 16-year-old had repeatedly insulted and threatened the 49-year-old in the past. The state security department processes such notifications.
When the trans woman asked the youngster to leave the shop, he is said to have insulted her transphobly again. He is also said to have tried to hit her in the direction. However, he missed her because she dodged in time. When the 49-year-old announced that she would call the police, the 16-year-old left the salon. Shortly thereafter, however, he is said to have taken a cobblestone from his clothing and thrown it in the direction of the woman.
He hit the front door of the store and damaged it. The woman was able to flee back to the salon beforehand and was not physically injured. Police officers arrested the suspect at the scene and took him into custody for identification. From this he was later released. The state security took over the further investigations into insult and attempted dangerous bodily harm.
