BERLIN (Reuters) - A group of far-left radicals attacked a leader of Germany's new anti-euro party at a campaign rally in the northern city of Bremen on Saturday, pushing him to the ground, the party said.

One campaign worker was cut by a knife and 16 people suffered breathing problems after roughly 25 hooded activists attacked them with pepper spray, police said. No one, however, had to go to hospital for treatment, a Bremen police spokeswoman said. Officers arrested three people, she said.
