Haredi man stabbed in neck in Antwerp's Jewish quarter

Local media reporting that a local rabbi was stabbed while he was walking to his synagogue; man is said to be in serious condition.

Ynetnews
Published: 11.15.14,

Local media are reporting that a 31-year-old Haredi man was stabbed Saturday morning while he was walking to his synagogue in Belgium. The man is said to be in serious but stable condition.

Ynet has confirmed that a member of the Antwerp Jewish community was stabbed Saturday morning, it is also possible he is being referred to as a rabbi because he is Haredi. Belgian police arrested a suspect but then released him; it is unclear if the motive was anti-Semitic or criminal.

Just because a Jewish person is attacked, doesn't mean it is because of antisemitism.
