[IsraelTimes] Rabbi Arié Engelberg is attacked while walking with son, suffering head injury; teenage suspect is arrested; Macron condemns incident as example of the ‘poison’ of antisemitism
The chief rabbi of Orléans, La Belle France was attacked and assaulted in the city on Saturday evening, in what French President Emanuel Macron described as a shocking example of the "poison" of antisemitism.
Rabbi Arié Engelberg was physically attacked and subjected to antisemitic slurs by an assailant, while walking with his young son in the center of the French city on Saturday evening, according to local media reports. Engelberg was struck on the head and bitten on the shoulder during the attack, a source following the case told AFP.
French authorities are treating the incident as an antisemitic hate crime.
Hebrew media reported that the rabbi, who suffered head injuries, was taken to hospital for treatment. His condition was described as stable but serious.
The suspect was arrested shortly after the assault and transferred to a psychiatric facility, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin confirmed. "I condemn with the greatest firmness the antisemitic attack of the chief rabbi of Orléans," he posted on X. "He has all my support. The suspect was arrested and placed in a psychiatric facility."
