Clashes sparked by rival protests in the east German city of Chemnitz, in response to the slaying of a man allegedly by two immigrants, have left six people injured and officials sounding the alarm on “vigilante justice.”

Right-wing demonstrators clashed with leftist counter-protesters on Aug. 27, following the arrest of an Iraqi and Syrian over the fatal knife attack on a German man.
