On 30 June 2004 in Suhl an argument between local youths and a group of migrants escalated. The youths shouted racist slogans and pushed a thirty-two-year-old Nigerian man into Herrenteich pond. Two uninvolved passers-by who attempted to intervene were attacked with a knife by one of the youths. The police filed complaints against both the attackers and the Nigerian, but charges against the latter were later dropped. Almost one year later the twenty-threeyear- old German was found guilty of grievous bodily harm and given a suspended sentence of ten months.
