The 23-year-old suffered a black eye after telling a group that he was Jewish.
reported that the man, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, suffered a black eye in the attack which he reported to German authorities on a police website. Police are treating the incident as an anti-Semitic crime.
The attack on the U.S. tourist, who has not been identified, comes amid a worrying rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes in Europe. The Berlin-based Research and Information Center on Antisemitism released figures in April which showed there had been a 14 percent increase in anti-Jewish incidents in the German capital compared with the previous year. One year ago 951 instances of anti-Semitic incidents were reported in the German capital.
In May, Germany's government anti-Semitism representative cautioned the country's Jews saying it might not be safe for the community to wear the kippah in public."My opinion on the matter has changed following the ongoing brutalization in German society," Felix Klein told the Funke newspaper group."I can no longer recommend Jews wear a kippah at every time and place in Germany," he explained.
