Hat torn off head
Anti-Semitic attack during demonstration in Vienna
An anti-Semitic attack took place at the same time as a controversial demonstration in Vienna's city center on Saturday afternoon, at which an estimated 1500 participants expressed their displeasure at the FPÖ's refusal to enter into government negotiations, among other things.

The perpetrator ran off with his loot.
A short time later, the police were able to stop two teenagers, one of whom turned out to be the suspected perpetrator. The 17-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct.
No connection to pro-FPÖ demo established

Police spokesman Markus Dittrich explained on Sunday evening that "the officers on the scene had not established any connection to the rally and/or a political group that was taking place at the same time".
