A 66-year-old Hasidic Jew was assaulted in Vienna by suspected neo-Nazis while walking to synagogue. The attackers forcibly removed the man's shtreimel, a traditional fur hat worn by married Hasidic Jewish men. Two teenagers have been apprehended and one has been charged with disturbing the peace. The incident occurred during a political demonstration, but authorities have not found a connection between the attack and the demonstration. The attack highlights rising concerns about antisemitism in Europe and the resurgence of extremist groups.
