Elderly man wearing kippah attacked near LA synagogue
An elderly man wearing a kippah was attacked as he walked to morning prayers in a Los Angeles neighborhood.
The attack took place in the Fairfax District, near the Congregation Bais Yehuda synagogue, according to the local ABC affiliate, KABC. Surveillance video shows the assailant punching and kicking the man, knocking him to the ground. The assailant then walks away from the scene.
Los Angeles police have not classified the attack as a hate crime or robbery but rather a random attack, KABC reported.
