Pedestrians walk past an electronic information sign warning the general public against pickpockets in Cologne, Germany, January 5, 2016. A mass attack by about 1,000 young men described by police as having North African appearance, on women celebrating New Year in the city of Cologne, has caused outrage in Germany and prompted criticism of its open-door refugee policy. Police say about 60 women have reported being robbed, threatened or sexually molested as they joined in the New Year's celecbrations with fireworks outside the world-famous twin-spired Cologne Cathedral. There is also one rape allegation. REUTERS/Wolfgang Rattay
