Belgium – insults and threats at a meeting with an orthodox Jew in Brussels

An orthodox Jew from Antwerp that passed through Brussels stopped at a gas station of the NINOVE road.

As he exited his vehicle, four North African teenagers – two men and one woman approached and surrounded him. They said: “Hey, Rabbi Yaakov, we know you; we know where you live Rabbi Yaakov…”
While the teenagers became more aggressive and threatening and just before they hurt him, a few people left the gas station and chased them away.

The license plate number of their car was written down and the police was called to the location. A complaint was filed and the gas station manager testified. The investigation is continuing and the police are trying to find the people responsible for this act.
