A far-right Polish politician has been filmed attacking a menorah during a Chanukah ceremony.

Polish MP Grzegorz Braun used a fire extinguisher to douse a Chanukiah during a candle-lighting ceremony in the Polish parliament today.

In videos shared on Twitter, the politician can be seen in the parliament lobby tearing a red extinguisher from the wall and marching over to the large Chanukiah, where he douses it in white powder.

After extinguishing the candles, Braun blasts a nearby woman who had attempted to stand in his way.
