Wien – Two men were attacked in Vienna by a group of five men. The attackers used pepper-spray and shouted antisemitic insults: ‘fucking Jews’ and ‘Jewish pigs’.
The attack occurred Friday night. The Austrian Freedom Party’s (FPO) held its annual Akademikerball (Academic’s Ball) that same night.
The two men are Jewish, but were not wearing any religious clothing.
The police confirmed the attack, but not the antisemitic aspects of it, as they have not heard both sides of the story. The attackers have yet to be caught.
