The article is in German. Here's a link to the school's message to the students confirming the reported incidents.Summary:
The school is a Hamburg's vocational school W4 attended by 2000 mostly female students. The school trains apprentices in fields related to medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine.
For some time students have been accosted and sometimes sexually harassed being on their way from the school to a nearby S-Bahn train station.
The perps are described as men of Middle Eastern or North African appearance speaking little to no German.
So far only eight cases are confirmed by the police. However this is likely to be only the tip of the iceberg.
One young woman describes being circled by men who had followed her to the train station. The men pressed her against a wall while other men stood nearby and were laughing.
According to the police "additional similar incidents were reported."
The police will show more presence in the vicinity of the school. Also the police will investigate whether the men come from a central refugee reception center on the same street.
