A team of “super recognizers" from Scotland Yard so named for their unique ability to pick out faces in a crowd, have been asked by Cologne police to analyze video footage of the New Year’s Eve attacks, DW reported.

Meanwhile, the number of victims involved in the New Year's Eve attacks in Cologne has increased to 1,049 people, Interior Minister of North-Rhine Westphalia Ralf Jaeger said in a report published Thursday.

Dozens of women were robbed, sexually assaulted, and raped on New Year's Eve in Cologne by groups of aggressive men, mostly of Arab and North African appearance.

The report also revealed that not only women had been attacked on New Year's Eve in Cologne. Eighteen percent of victims were male.

The mass attacks in Cologne have casted doubt on Germany's open-door migration policy.
