On 18 June 2006, a violent confrontation occurred between two groups of youngsters. Two members of the right-wing milieu, aged 21 and 23, together with two younger teenagers insulted a group of youngsters in a racist manner (“Verpiss dich, scheiß Nigger” and “Scheiß Ausländer”) and attacked them. A 15-year old Ethiopian boy suffered seriously cranial injuries. Both offenders had been convicted for similar offences several times, though always on probation.
