Police in the US state of Michigan are probing an antisemitic attack in which a Jewish student was asked whether he was Jewish and was then attacked after answering affirmatively.
The Ann Arbor Police Department says the incident happened on Hill Street and South Forest Avenue at 12:45 a.m. local time on Sunday a day ago.
The 19-year-old male victim reported he was walking when a group of unknown males behind him asked if he was Jewish, a police statement says. When the victim replied yes, the group of males proceeded to assault him. The suspects fled the area on foot.
The victim was lightly hurt and did not require hospitalization.
