German newspaper Bild released this video Tuesday of the fatal attack on Tugce Albayrak, who was killed after coming to the aid of two girls being harassed by men at an Offenbach McDonald's.
She died on her 23rd birthday, when her parents took her off life support. Her actions have been praised as a display of civil courage.
Associated Press reported that police have taken a suspect into custody:
An 18-year-old identified only as Sanel M. is in custody over the attack, said Offenbach police spokesman Ingbert Zacharias. He said the Serbian teenager has "been the focus of several police investigations in the past, also in connection with an assault causing bodily harm."
The AP added:
A German prosecutor says preliminary autopsy results failed to clearly identify the cause of death of a young woman who died after reportedly defending two teenage girls from male harassment.
