Kitty O'Brien was left bloodied and bruised after being jabbed twice by an officer during a Palestinian solidarity march in Berlin last month.

Footage of the officer punching the 25-year-old went viral and the protester claims the same officer also broke their arm.

The Dubliner fears they have been left with permanent radial nerve damage and claimed their right hand isn't functioning the way it used to.
