So basically, a few kids got stabbed while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance lesson (IIRC) and people started spreading rumors in Twitter that the attacker was Muslim. Nazis started rioting about it and kept doing it even after it was revealed that the attacker was not even a Muslim.
Apparently the police and anti-racist protestors have managed to calm the riots down now.
I thought the rumor was he was a refugee, and the true part is that he was Muslim?
