One of the victims of the New Year's Eve attacks in Cologne
has told how she was surrounded by a gang of 30 “angry” men forcing her
group of female friends to huddle together, holding hands for
protection.
“They were full of
anger, and we had to make sure that none of us were pulled away by them.
They were groping us and we were trying to get away as quickly as
possible,” said the 18 year-old, who gave her name only as Michelle,
describing how she had gone out around 11pm and found the main station
full of young men.
As the women
fled, the men pressed themselves against them, stealing mobile phones,
wallets and other personal possessions from their pockets as they
passed.
