This shocking video shows the moment a university student was struck to the ground and killed after she had protected two teenage girls who were being harassed.
A Serbian man, 18, is in custody over the November 15 attack, which left Tuğçe Albayrak, a student of German-Turkish descent, in a coma.
Her parents made the decision to switch off her life support machine on Friday - on her 23rd birthday - after doctors said she would never regain consciousness.
Flowers and candles are placed in memory of Tuğçe Albayrak who was killed after helping two teenagers

An 18-year-old suspect, identified only as Sanel M from the Sandzak region of south-west Serbia, is in police custody and is said to have admitted attacking Albayrak.
The video, published on the Bild website, shows the attacker getting out of his car and approaching Ms Albayrak and her friends.
A man repeatedly tries to stand between the attacker and Ms Albayrak, but the attacker manages to strike her on the head.
The video shows her falling to the ground and hitting her head, before the attacker flees the scene.
Hundreds of people hold up candles in front of a hospital in Offenbach, near Frankfurt, to commemorate her

Ms Albayrak had intervened when she heard cries for help from the toilet of a McDonald's in the town of Offenbach, near Frankfurt, where the two girls, believed to be aged 13 and 16, were being harassed.
Later, one of the men returned and attacked her in the car park, striking her head with a stone or a bat.
Poor girl, she was really beautiful, rest in piece!
