Far-right German politician beaten unconscious by masked men

(CNN)A far-right German lawmaker has been beaten unconscious by at least three masked assailants in an attack seen by police as “politically motivated.”

Frank Magnitz, a member of parliament and the leader of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party (AfD) in Bremen, was assaulted on Monday afternoon as he walked through the center of the city.
Masked men knocked him unconscious with a piece of wood “and kicked him further” in the head as he lay on the ground, AfD wrote in a statement.
