Two men from Sudan and Egypt were beaten up by a group of right-wing extremists in the latest xenophobic attack in Germany, officials said Friday according to DPA. The men were set upon last Saturday in the southern state of Rhineland Palatinate, the same day as a group of Germans pursued and injured eight Indians in the eastern town of Muegeln. A justice ministry spokesman said the Sudanese, aged 26, was hit over the head with a bottle and spent several days in hospital before being discharged. The 39-year-old Egyptian received cuts to the hand. Three men in their 20s with known links to the right-wing scene were arrested and face charges of aggravated assault, said the spokesman in the city of Mainz. Two of them remain in police custody, he added. Police did not immediately disclose details of the attack to avoid hampering their investigations, the spokesman said.
