A New York City male model who was brutally attacked while defending two women in Germany has slammed the nation’s immigration policies.

John Rudat, 21, was brutally attacked with multiple stab wounds after he attempted to intervene in the violent assault of two individuals on public transportation in Dresden, Germany, on Sunday.

He has now spoken out, disclosing that his assailant was ‘an immigrant who is in the country illegally, known as a drug dealer, and is notably recognized by the police here.’

‘He doesn’t even belong here,’ he added.

Rudat claimed the immigrant attacker had been remanded several times before Sunday’s attack, including for similar attempted assaults on young women.

‘If such individuals can perpetrate violence and then be freed 12 hours later, or even sooner at times, what does that say about our legal system and its enforcement?’ he questioned.

‘If Germans are held to that law and that structure, but these people could just come in, swing knives, and hurt, abuse, terrorize and oppress citizens of Germany then what do we do?’

Law enforcement officials said there were two attackers. They were both reportedly Syrian nationals. 

One of the men was detained after the violent incident on suspicion of beating Rudat, but was released shortly after. 

‘According to the on-call public prosecutor’s assessment, there were insufficient grounds for detention. The knife attack cannot be attributed to him,’ Senior Public Prosecutor Jurgen Schmidt told German outlet Bild.

The other suspect, who is believed to have actually stabbed Rudat, is still at large. 

Rudat was vacationing in Germany when the assault occurred, but said he wanted to impart knowledge on other foreigners about ‘Europe’s immigration problem, especially Germany’.

‘The problem to me wasn’t anyone’s skin color, wasn’t anyone’s race, wasn’t anybody’s anything. It was the fact that a woman was being harassed and assaulted.’

The New York model implored his followers not to consider his comments political, insisting the ‘problem of violence transcends a political party’.

‘Everybody, no matter what their side of political party, should look at this and see it for what it was: an act of violence perpetrated on somebody that could not defend herself with an intervention from someone who was in a position to do so,’ he said.

The young model, who is also a paramedic, sustained a critical gash in the middle of his face from a six-inch blade. 

Horrifying footage from the incident’s aftermath shows Rudat with a tissue to his face with a trail of blood splatters leading to where he was sitting.

Rudat needed immediate medical attention and underwent extensive surgery in Germany.  

A GoFundMe has been created by his brother’s girlfriend, Molly Sheldon. 

‘This horrible act against John leaves us devastated and seeking justice. He now faces a challenging recovery; physically, emotionally, and even financially as he works to heal from this incident,’ Sheldon wrote. 

Rudat (pictured) is expected to be able to return to the US in a week or two, according to his brother 

So far, the fundraiser created to support Rudat and his family has collected more than $32,500. 

Rudat was visiting Dresden to see his former foreign exchange host family, according to The New York Post.

When his loved ones received the gut-wrenching call that he had been involved in the harrowing incident, they feared for the worst. 

‘We got a little scared when we found out,’ Sheldon told The Post. 

‘We didn’t know the extent of his injuries. We were at dinner the other day and he called saying, ‘Hey, I’ve been in an incident, I’m OK, just if you can notify my parents because they weren’t answering the phone.”

Rudat’s brother and Sheldon’s boyfriend, Logan, said he was not surprised that his brother put himself at risk to protect others. 

‘It’s part of his character. That’s just the way we were raised,’ Logan, who is also a first responder, told the outlet, adding he is optimistic that Rudat will be able to return to the US in a week or two. 

While reflecting on the incident on his Instagram story, Rudat wrote: ‘Never turn your back on abuse.’
