One man has been charged by police and another is recovering in hospital following an alleged stabbing attack - after a disagreement over herring at a synagogue kiddush.

The incident took place last Shabbat at a shul in Melbourne, Australia.

The JC understands there was an argument between two men over either cake or herring.

One man in his 20s was stabbed in the abdomen after the service at the Rambam Sephardi Shul in the city's Hotham Street.
