Australia - Three face charges over attack on Jewish man
Three men will be charged over an
alleged attack on an Orthodox Jew in Melbourne last year.
Menachem Vorchheimer, 33, was walking with two of his children on Balaclava Rd, St Kilda, during a religious holiday in October when he claims members of a football club started abusing him from a passing mini-bus.
Police allege a man on the bus snatched the hat and yarmulke from Mr Vorchheimer's head and, when he insisted upon its return, another punched him in the face.
A 23-year-old from Ocean Grove, near Geelong, will be summonsed for intentionally and recklessly causing serious injury, assault and using insulting words while a 28-year-old faces theft charges and a 21-year-old will also be arraigned for using insulting words.
