left-wing extremists attacking staff and vandalizing stores stocking the fashion brand Thor Steinar, often accused of being a popular brand of the far-right, in what appears to be a series of coordinated attacks in cities across Germany.

The attacks took place on Saturday, and incidents ranging from suspicious activity to assault were reported in Erfurt, Dresden, Magdeburg, Schwerin, Halle, and Berlin.

In footage of the incident in Erfurt, four hooded left-wing extremists can be seen repeatedly hitting a female member of staff who is lying on the ground. They target he legs, feet, and head with a baton. In the end, they attacked the young mother with pepper spray, leaving the victim writhing in pain.
