>A 20-year-old German national, beaten into a coma on Sunday evening by several members of a migrant gang, has died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
>Philippos and his 19-year-old friend were returning home from a graduation party in the North Rhine-Westphalia town of Bad Oeynhausen at around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday when around 10 migrant males confronted them.
>The pair were punched to the floor before being kicked as they lay defenseless on the ground.
>As horrified witnesses called the police, the gang casually walked from the crime scene toward the town center.
>The victims were hospitalized as a result of their injuries, but Philippos was particularly hurt and was induced into a protective coma which he sadly never woke up from.
>Philippos was declared brain dead on Monday evening and died in Minden Hospital on Tuesday.
>The Ratsgymnasium Minden confirmed that Philippos was the brother of one of its students and had been attending his sister’s graduation party at the facility shortly before he was attacked.
>In a website post on Monday, the school wrote, “We were horrified to learn of the physical altercation in Bad Oeynhausen, in which a relative of a high school graduate from our school was critically injured.
>“We are deeply saddened that this very festive day of dismissal and graduation for the students is overshadowed by these events.
>“Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the affected family,” it added.
>The Class of ’24 who were celebrating their graduation had set up a GoFundMe page for the victims and their families following the attack, which has now raised more than €61,000 at the time of writing.
>The fundraising has temporarily been disabled following the news of Philippos’ death.
>Police continue to search for the suspects and have urged the attackers to hand themselves in.
>According to a press release by Bielefeld Police Headquarters, the migrant gang comprised around 10 people, all of whom were male and between 19 and 20 years old. They were described as “Southern,” a phrase often used in Germany to describe men of Maghreb or Arab origin. Some were dressed in Adidas designer tracksuits.
