(JNS.org) A Jewish man was attacked with a machete by a teenager in Marseille, France, on Monday morning, Jan.11, in an apparent antisemitic incident. The victim, who was wearing a yarmulke, is a school teacher who was on his way to work. He was followed by a teenager who attacked him with a large machete, causing injuries to his back and hands. The teacher managed to scare away the teenager, who ran off and left the machete at the scene. Before he ran off, the teenager reportedly yelled “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greater”) in Arabic. “We know that it is a clearly antisemitic act, a serious act committed a few dozen meters” from a Jewish school, said local police chief Laurent Nunez, according to the thelocal.fr website.
