BERLIN

Police in Germany beat a protester Wednesday in front of his family as hundreds took to the streets to demonstrate coronavirus restrictions and vaccination.

Footage showed the protester being punched by an officer before he was arrested and put into a police car.

Around 1,000 protesters gathered on Unter den Linden Street in Berlin to protest the prospect of mandatory vaccinations which has been discussed in the Bundestag and is expected to be introduced by March.
