Carcassonne – A veiled woman along with two younger
women assaulted a Jewish woman and her teenage son in a supermarket near
Toulouse, a watchdog on antisemitism said.
The incident occurred on Tuesday in Carcassonne, a town
situated 55 miles southeast of Toulouse, the National Bureau for Vigilance
against Antisemitism, or BNVCA, reported Friday. The watchdog characterized the
incident as an antisemitic assault.
The alleged perpetrators, which BNVCA wrote may have been a
mother and her daughters, saw that the victim, a woman in her 40s, was Jewish
because she was wearing a Star of David pendant, the group wrote in an incident
report.
