A knife-wielding woman screamed ‘’slaughter all Jews’’ when she attacked a rabbi and ripped off his kippah on Thursday in Vienna.
The attack occurred in the afternoon when the woman, described as about 50 years old and wearing a grey coat, approached the rabbi and pulled the knife from her handbag.
She kicked the rabbi in the leg, knocked his hat from his head, then tore off his kippah and yelled an anti-Semitic insult before fleeing, according to Austrian police.
The attack has been taken over by the Austrian agency that investigates acts of terrorism.
It comes weeks after a gunman killed four people near the city’s main synagogue.
