The Dane made the mistake of walking through the Moslem part of town.
Or “Little Sweden,” as it’s allegedly called.
Late last Friday evening, 17-year-old Marcus Aroli, a Dane, was with his sister at Tåstrup train station in western Copenhagen when they decided to take a train to Albertslund station to buy a soda at the 7/11 since there’s no shop of this kind in Tåstrup, Norwegian news site Document.no reports.
“As soon as I got off the train, my sister and one of her girlfriends say they think they knew some people who were waiting at the end of the entrance to the platform,” Marcus Aroli said.
“Next, I asked what they meant but before I knew it, a boy around 15 years old with curly black hair came up to me for no reason and punched me in the face, causing my upper lip to split open and begin bleeding,” Aroli continued.
As Aroli was attempting to escape, another man from the group tripped him so that he fell back to the ground. The group of men then surrounded him and made several more attempts to push him down onto the train tracks. According to Aroli, they made their last attempt to shove him onto the tracks just as the train was arriving at the platform.
“I then ran until I came to the end of the platform where there were only train rails. From there I knew I had to go back and get past them, so of course, they hit me again and my sister began crying.”
“I eventually fell, and can see he was close to bumping me in the head, so out of panic I took a bag of 4 beers and threw them at the head of one in the gang so the cans broke.”
“I got up quickly and ran towards the exit from the platform. I then ran back towards the platform and out on the rails.”
“Fortunately, the gang did not touch my sister or her friends. Their complete full focus was on me.”
“There were about 30 people present during the attack, but just 9 of them took part in beating me. If anyone has seen or heard anything from this evening, contact the police as soon as possible as they may decide to do it again,” Marcus says.
