More witnesses were still needed, a police spokesman said. “Come forward, tell us what you saw and in this way demonstrate civil courage,” he said.

A special police post is to remain open in the town at least until the end of the week.

The incident in Muegeln on Aug 18, in which some 50 youths chased eight Indian men into a pizzeria owned by one of them, drew international attention and provoked outrage in Germany.

A series of other racist assaults have since come to light.
