A new anti-Semitic attack in Savoy. A 30-year-old woman was arrested and taken into police custody on Thursday November 2 after she violently insulted and attacked a driver in an antisemitic manner, reports France Bleu Pays de Savoie. The offences of which she is accused took place at around 5.30 pm on the same day near a Jewish religious school in Aix-les-Bains.
A car driver was parking near the school when the 30-year-old approached the woman on the carriageway and began to insult her and call her a “dirty Jew”. This led to an argument between the two women.
After a few minutes, the woman pulled out a can of pepper spray and sprayed it in the driver’s face. Several witnesses observed the incident. The police were quickly called and tracked down the perpetrator 30 minutes after the incident at her home in Tresserve.
The 30-year-old was taken into police custody and is known to the police for another case of violence and threats, as was reported by our journalists. An investigation has been opened into racial offences and serious religiously motivated violence. The victim was taken to hospital that evening. She was slightly injured and was given a sick note.
