Passersby called the police, which launched an investigation into the incident.
The Jewish man had to seek medical treatment at the hospital.
"It is incomprehensible to see a young Jewish man attacked on the street in an established area of Berlin, just because he is identified as a Jew," said Levy Salomon, the spokesman of the Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against anti-Semitism. "It shows Jews are not safe even here. We don't need any more speeches, we need actions."
