Migrants run for their lives as mob rampage through German city 'hunting' asylum seekers
Migrants run for their lives as mob of 50 "neo-Nazis" [whatever that means] rampage through German city 'hunting' asylum seekers
Migrants were forced to run for their lives after a mob of 50 stone-throwing neo-Nazis rampaged through a Germany city claiming they were hunting asylum seekers.
The far-right gang screamed insults and threats at the refugees before chasing them in the eastern city of Bautzen last night.
Police were out in force at the time of the confrontation but apparently did not act until the refugees began to run from the mob who had gathered at the city's Holzmarkt.
One of the asylum seekers was hit by a bicycle ridden by one of his pursuers and suffered a cut from a stone which hit him. Police also rescued a second youth and took him away in a patrol car.
The town has had a nightly curfew for unaccompanied minor refugees since the violence of mid-September when nearly 80 neo-Nazis chased 19 asylum seekers through the streets after exchanging insults in a main square.
This time the far-right opponents of refugees took to cars and bikes to chase the migrants who told police they genuinely felt in fear of their lives.

Far-right ‘hunt’ for refugees in German town, police accused of cover-up & inaction
Dozens of suspected far-right extremists have rampaged through the eastern German town of Bautzen, “hunting” refugees, according to local media. Police denied the incident, but have been accused of a cover-up and inaction.
A mob of up to 50 stone-throwing locals reportedly chased migrants from Bautzen town center on Tuesday night, the second such incident in two weeks, according to Die Zeit.
The far-right activists took to cars and bikes to ‘hunt’ migrants down. Most of them were wearing dark clothing with German Imperial flags and right-wing-badges, while some of their cars had slogans such as “White Power” written on them, according to a Sueddeutsche Zeitung report.
A small police team was present at the time of the incident but apparently did not interfere until the refugees began to run from the mob, who had gathered at the town’s market square, the newspaper reported.

Sebastian Striegel, a Green Party MP in the Saxony-Anhalt parliament, accused police of covering up the situation. "If we didn't have research journalism, we would have to believe what the police told us about Bautzen. At most that would be half of the truth," he tweeted.
Police in the state of Saxony have previously been the subject of controversy, according to German media. In February, officers were caught on viral video dragging a refugee from a bus in the Saxony town of Clausnitz while a mob of anti-migrant demonstrators blocked the vehicle.
