A TEENAGER surrendered to police today over an attack in Germany on a candidate in next month’s European Parliament election from the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The 17-year-old, accompanied by a parent, turned himself in at a police station in the eastern city of Dresden, Saxony state police said.

“He admitted the act but didn’t go beyond that,” police spokeswoman Silvaine Reiche said.
