Coby Gozlan, 50, was outside a local grocery when he saw an Orthodox man being taunted and pushed by another individual. Gozlan stepped in to help, but then the assailant turned and began attacking him.

Gozlan’s face and arms were covered in scratches and bruises, said reports, and he was taken to a local hospital, where he spent the night.

In what seemed like an Israeli accent, he said in a television interview on Australia’s Channel 9 that “I am in shock that it can happen … here in Australia … in such a quiet area.”

A 33-year-old man was taken into police custody for questioning but has not been charged.

According to the locally based publication The Age, the incident is the latest incident involving Melbourne’s Jewish community following the introduction of landmark legislation last week to ban the public display of the Nazi swastika.

Thank you HaShem
Thank you HaShem for these wake up calls.
Now it’s beatings….. If people don’t wake up the wake up calls will get worse.

Most Jews ignored the wake up calls in the 1930’s and we know what happened with the ones that stayed in Europe.

HaShem have pity on us

I blame Biden.

This never would have happened if Trump were president of Australia.
