A group of haredi teenagers narrowly escaped harm in Melbourne's St. Kilda East after a car tried to run them over in what authorities are calling an antisemitic attack. The incident occurred near the Adat Israel synagogue, a site previously targeted with a Molotov cocktail. Security footage shows the teens fleeing as a white SUV made a sharp U-turn and nearly struck one of them. The assailants reportedly shouted antisemitic slurs, gave a Nazi salute, and threatened violence while chasing the boys for several minutes. Community members described the attack as a deliberate act of hatred that has left local residents deeply shaken.
