One of the two suspects in an anti-Semitic verbal assault on a rabbi’s son in Germany on Thursday approached the Police to deny the allegations against her.
According to the Police spokesman, the 40-year-old woman decided to testify to police after the incident in the southern German city of Munich received wide-spread attention in the media.
The woman was accused of calling the son of a rabbi, who was wearing a kippah, a “shitty Jew’’.
She, however, denied saying those words but admitted during her meeting with the police that both parties had exchanged insults.
After exiting their synagogue in Munich, the rabbi and his two sons said they had been first insulted by an unknown man from across the road.
The Rabbi said he was wearing `kippahs’ with his two children, which he said, was how the man knew they were Jewish.
According to investigators, she saw the incident unfold from her car and then insulted one of the 19-year-old men when he approached her car, she repeated the insult and spat in his face.
Meanwhile, Police have commenced the investigation of both suspects for libel and hate speech.
