A young Jewish man has sustained severe head injuries after he was assaulted with a spade outside a synagogue in the northern German city of Hamburg on Sunday afternoon, in what politicians have condemned as a disgusting" antisemitic attack.

The student, 26, was about to enter the Hohe Weide synagogue in the centre of Germany's second-largest city when he was attacked by a man in camouflage gear.
