A person was arrested in an antisemitic assault outdoors a D.C. synagogue on Sunday.
Officers arrested Brent Wooden for allegedly shouting an antisemitic phrase and spraying a foul-smelling substance on two individuals outdoors the Kesher Israel Congregation on N Avenue in Georgetown simply earlier than 9:30 a.m.
Sources informed News4 that the suspect was yelling, “Fuel the Jews.”
The victims weren’t bodily harm.
Wooden, whose final recognized handle is in Toledo, Ohio, is charged with easy assault and resisting arrest.
Police are investigating the incident as a hate or bias-motivated crime.
The Anti-Defamation League condemned the incident, issuing a press release that reads partially, “There’s merely no excuse for these antisemitic acts. None of that is regular and nobody ought to suppose that is okay… It’s incumbent upon all of society to push again in opposition to antisemitism and different types of hate.”
