The mayor of Cologne has summoned police for crisis talks after about 80 women reported sexual assaults and muggings by men on New Year's Eve.

The scale of the attacks on women at the city's central railway station has shocked Germany. About 1,000 drunk and aggressive young men were involved.

City police chief Wolfgang Albers called it "a completely new dimension of crime". The men were of Arab or North African appearance, he said.

Women were also targeted in Hamburg.

Any footage of this?

Of what? Mass sexual assault? No, of course not. Only a few videos showing how many arabs are at the location and how they behave.#

well if it's prove wrong those "bad " arab's need to be put on jail or judge according to the local law. to bad the local police cannot determine which Arab where the people came from. because there are a lot of races and religion from Arab.

this is true, news all over europe they are saying this

What am I looking at here?

Yes, I know there are reports but I'm asking for footage.

you are looking a nw year fire works and a couple of people on the street, amaizing evidence

That's certainly what it looks like to me.

No, I'm not going to assume the women are lying. Their claims should be investigated. What I'm skeptical of are claims of the following nature:

"What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organised. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women."

I imagine these large groups would be easily filmed. I can understand one single rapist abducting someone and taking them to a secluded place being difficult to capture on film but 1,000 people arriving in large groups shouldn't be too difficult to capture.
