Two right-wing extremists have admitted beating up two Africans in western Germany, adding public concerns over a string of recent racist attacks in the country, local reports said Monday.
The two men were arrested Friday after attacking a Sudanese and an Egyptian during a wine festival in the village of Guntersblum, near the city of Mainz.
A police spokesman said the attackers have confessed their involvement in the attack which put the Sudanese man in hospital.
On Friday evening, eight Indians were also attacked in the eastern city of Muegeln during a local festival.
In another assault on Friday, a 36-year-old Iraqi was beaten with a baseball bat and racially abused by a man who set his dog on him at a tram stop in the eastern city of Magdeburg, according to a report by German news agency DPA.
The report also said that on Friday evening right-wingers attacked a snack bar operated by a Pakistani, who has lived there since 2002, at a fair in the eastern town of Buetzow.
A mob of about 40 young men went on the rampage there, smashing stalls and hurling bottles at the police, said the report.
