The victim, who is Chairman of the Metropolitan Liberal Jewish
Congregation of Greater Manchester was out for a drink in Manchester city centre. The victim was leaving a bar and was waiting for a friend to catch up with him. He struck up a conversation with the doorman. The victim noticed the doorman’s accent and so asked where he came from. The doorman became quite aggressive and insisted he was from Manchester. The victim protested that he meant no insult and that there was no need to be unfriendly. The doorman pushed the victim away from him and said “move Jew”. The victim wears a Star of David and thinks this is why he called him a Jew. The victim admitted to not being 100% sober.
