At a folk festival in Frankfurt am Main, a young person is said to have attacked a person with anti-queer motives.

According to the current state of investigation, the crime took place between September 9th and 10th during the "Dippemess", the police said. 

A witness reported to the police on Thursday with videos of the crime.

According to the investigators, this shows how a teenager hits a person in the face with his fist.

The victim fell to the ground as a result of the blow.

In addition, the victim is said to have been insulted in a queer hostile manner.

The term "queer" comes from the English and describes all those sexual or gender identities that deviate from the heterosexual majority.

This includes, for example, homo- or intersex people as well as trans people.

The term thus has a much broader field of meaning than terms such as gay or lesbian.

According to the information, bystanders filmed the events with their smartphones.

A 14-year-old had already been identified as a suspect, the police reported.

He is now being investigated for dangerous bodily harm and insult.

Investigations to identify the victim and the background to the crime are ongoing.

The state security of the Frankfurt criminal police is responsible.

The "Dippemess" is the largest and oldest public festival in Frankfurt.
