Footage showing the moment when a young Turkish woman was punched while trying to help women being harassed in the German city of Offenbach has been revealed days after her death, Bild Online reported on Dec. 1.

Tuğçe Albayrak, 22, was declared brain dead on Nov. 26 after being beaten for trying to rescue two German women from being harassed. Her medical equipment was switched off on Nov. 28, her 23rd birthday, upon her family’s request, as hundreds of people gathered and lit candles in front of the hospital in Offenbach.

The new footage, taken by a security camera in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in Offenbach on Nov. 15, shows that Albayrak tried to protect the German women from the harassers before being punched herself. As she falls down heavily injured, the assailants are seen running away.

Albayrak’s funeral is scheduled for Dec. 3.
