German police have launched an investigation after two young men wearing Jewish skullcaps were assaulted in Berlin, according to a report.

The attacker was filmed shouting anti-Semitic abuse and the video of the incident was later shared on Facebook, the BBC has reported.

The film shows the attacker hitting the men with his belt, the BBC said.

It added that the assailant is heard shouting "Yahudi," an Arabic word for Jew, before being dragged away by another man.

The incident took place in the Prenzlauer Berg area of the German capital on Monday, according to the BBC.

More than 200,000 Jews live in Germany, the BBC reported.
