While on the whole the story is accurate the details are quite mangled. It's probably not the best idea to submit an Australian source about a story in Germany.

I actually live in Berlin in an inner city area that is considered "radical" by many but compared to the US or even elsewhere in Europe it's the most peaceful place on earth. The leftist violence gets less in recent years, last year for the first time in 20 years there were no "riots" on May 1st. Those riots btw. are only a tourist attraction by now. The leftist groups stage their own protests, thousands come but nobody notices due to the lack or riots that sell better in the media business. We have a lot more neonazi violence over here though. Even previously safe areas are again dangerous for all people looking differently be it people of color, gays or whomever dares not to look like a real German. When visiting Berlin "while black or gay" make sure not to use public transportation at night in the wrong area, especially the outskirts.
