Authorities in Germany said six people beat and hospitalized a 17-year-old girl who apparently refused to wear a face mask on a train in Berlin.

The girl told police that a dispute escalated after she said she wouldn’t wear a mask in the district of Prenzlauer Berg, officials told Die Welt. The unidentified girl was traveling with her friends and was told that it was a legal requirement to wear the mask, officials told the paper.
