(NL Times) The police arrested a 40-year-old man from Utrecht who is suspected of being involved in an incident last Friday in which a rabbi was allegedly hit in the head at the Overvecht shopping center. The suspect reported himself to the police on Sunday. The police are investigating him.
The 66-year-old rabbi, Aryeh Leib Heintz, said that he was approached in a discriminatory manner on Friday afternoon at around 3 p.m. Heintz said he was struck by an attacker who told him he had no business being at the shopping center “dressed as a Jew” and was hit in the head shortly afterwards, NOS reported. The prominent Utrecht rabbi then reported the incident.
