Rafi Rachek: Reality TV star was attacked by strangers

For Rafi Rachek it should be a cozy Tuesday evening with friends. Instead, the former "Bachelor in Paradise" participant ended up in the hospital. Near the Aachen pond in Cologne, he was initially insulted by a group of strangers, then attacked. The 30-year-old reports in his Instagram story: Several people would have called him "fag", after that he could not remember anything. "I woke up in the forest at some point, could not move my arm and had a laceration on my shin."

He returned to his friends in shock. "I didn't know what happened," Rachek continues. He was finally treated in the hospital. The result shows the 30-year-old, who has outed himself gay at "Bachelor in Paradise", on Instagram: a black eye, the right arm in plaster and a large plaster on the damaged shin. He has already filed a complaint.
