A 17-year-old girl was seriously injured in Minden, Germany after a drunk Afghan refugee dragged her off a bus by her hair, causing her to be run over while trying to escape the man. According to a police statement, the girl was repeatedly harassed by the 22-year-old Afghan refugee while she waited at a bus terminal in Minden, near Hanover, with her 14-year-old friend just before 9pm local time on Saturday. The girl and her friend sought safety from the man, and his 21-year-old friend, by running to a nearby vehicle, where the driver let them on. However, the persistent pair also got onboard and the 22-year-old dragged the girl from the bus by her hair – after it had started to move. The girl slipped and fell beneath the bus, which ran over her legs, leaving her with “severe injuries,” police said. As bystanders rushed to help the teen, the driver chased the men hoping to get a picture of them. He was reportedly slapped in the face by the 21-year-old. Police

Newstalk heard that there have been several muggings in the last few weeks in the Clontarf area. In one incident, two teenagers were chased through the Conquer Hill road area. Their attackers tried to steal one of the boy's jackets and a mobile phone — two target items common in the muggings — but locals intervened and thwarted the attack.

One local admitted to Newstalk that the perpetrators were African and that they were big lads, "obviously coming in here from other areas". Clontarf is a wealthier area with a small African population compared to Balbriggan or Blanchardstown in west Dublin which are areas more used to African crime. Mosney, a Direct Povision centre for asylum seekers is nearby Balbriggan and many former residents have settled in the seaside town
