A strictly observant man who took part in a pro-Palestinian rally in central Manchester has fled his home after allegedly being attacked by local Jewish residents.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the man’s home in the Salford area of Manchester was vandalised, with his windows smashed and graffiti daubed on the front door and window sills.
The Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the man had been the victim of assault and criminal damage. They also said that they are treating the incidents as “hate crimes”.
One neighbour said: “I have lived here for many years and I have never known a situation where the Jewish community turned on each other.”
