In Dresden, Germany, a 21-year-old American tourist named John Rudat was stabbed in the face after intervening to protect two German women from harassment and an attempted sexual assault by Syrian asylum seekers on a tram. Rudat, who is also a model, sustained serious facial injuries, including a severe cut to his nose. The attack involved two Syrian nationals; one suspect, Majd A., was initially arrested but released due to insufficient evidence, while the other, 20-year-old Ismail Alhaj Hussein, was on the run before later surrendering to authorities. German police have released Hussein's photo and are continuing investigations. The incident has drawn criticism from U.S. officials regarding Germany's handling of the case and immigration policies. Rudat has publicly spoken from his hospital bed about the attack, emphasizing his concern for the women's safety and expressing criticism of the response by German authorities. The case has sparked international attention and debate over migrant-related violence in Europe.
