It interesting to see that the figure has now dropped from 1000 then down to 80 and now down to a group of around 40 men. These were originally described as refugees and asylum seekers but have now been identified as possible North Africans (not Arabs as much of the press has reported nor Muslims as they were all drunk) who were French speakers (could have come from Belgium which is close to Köln) and didn't have papers. Much of the problems happened between 2 platforms so I don't think that there were around 1000 people there somehow but the press does like to whip up a nationalistic frenzy though. I had friends who were up there who said that the main problem was a lot of drunken people, some 2000 in all, of all races in front of the station throwing fireworks making it very dangerous.
I personally wasn't very far away over in Essen and the scariest thing I saw was the group of Arabic men standing at the Trinkhalle next to the doorway of the club I was in drinking beer having gout out of a car with Belgian plates. Also a young girl, 23 years old, left the club in the early hours of the morning and was run over and killed by a police car.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Between 500 and 1,000 men described as drunk and aggressive are believed to have been behind the attacks on partygoers in the centre of the western German city. Whether they were working as a single group or in separate gangs remains unclear.
Women reported being tightly surrounded by groups of men who harassed and mugged them. Some people threw fireworks into the crowds, adding to the chaos.
“Sexual crimes took place on a huge scale,” said the police president, Wolfgang Albers. “The crimes were committed by a group of people who from appearance were largely from the north African or Arab world.”
He said one of the victims had been raped. A volunteer policewoman was among those said to have been sexually assaulted.bloggoth

There was believed to be around 1000-2000 people there, as there is every year as I've been there, but the group that actually caused these disgusting crimes was only around 40 is how I understand all the press reports I've read.Comment

Not looked at any news since this afternoon. But I don't think being drunk precludes them from being Muslim, lol. That's one of the perks of migrating.Comment
