Specifically, there is no sign of a wooden object nor is there footage of someone kicking Magnitz to the ground, Frank Passade, a spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office, said.

Frank Passade, spokesman for the public prosecutor's office, said the footage showed Mr Magnitz likely sustained his head injuries when he hit the ground, and not from being kicked on the ground.

“We assume that all of the injuries are the result of the fall,” said Frank Passade, a spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office in Bremen, which is investigating the assault.

“We are a glad to have a video recording of the event: We actually can see what really happened and exclude a number of things that were the object of speculation,” Mr. Passade said.

A political animus, Mr. Passade said, is “one possibility among several.”
