UK minister ‘appalled’ by anti-Semitic attack
Communities Minister Baroness Williams of Trafford says “anti-Semitism and hate crimes of any sort are totally unacceptable,” following the anti-Semitic attack in north Manchester.
“I am appalled to hear of this weekend’s attack in Manchester and would urge anyone with information to come forward. Let me be clear, this government takes fighting anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim hatred seriously and anyone found guilty of these vile crimes will feel the full force of the law.”
The condition of the 17-year-old victim of the attack was reportedly improving.
