Thugs. That mindset that it's ok to harass anyone - women, the elderly, homeless, etc - just shows how pitiful bullies really are. Ugh.

''A Syrian migrant smirked after he was arrested for the brutal attack on American model John Rudat on a tram in Germany on Tuesday.

Wearing a gray Adidas hooded sweatshirt, white Nike sneakers and black sweatpants with “Hood Rich” written on the front, the 21-year-old, identified only as Majd A., stared defiantly at photographers as he was taken before a judge in handcuffs in the eastern German city of Dresden.

Majd was originally arrested at a migrant shelter on Sunday following the violent attack, but was released less than 12 hours later as German police said they didn’t have enough evidence to tie him to the crime.''
''His accomplice, who slashed Rubat with a blade, is still at large.''

Smirking, no doubt, because he knows nothing will happen to him.

A very brave young man. How someone was able to flee the scene is beyond me. There's not enough brave people around like John.
