A 16-year-old youth who allegedly attacked a rabbi as he walked in the street with his nine-year-old son in Orléans, central France, will go on trial next month charged with a religious hate crime.
Orléans prosecutor Emmanuelle Bochenek-Puren said the youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will face a charge of voluntary violence committed due to the real or assumed belonging, or non-belonging, of the victim to a religion.
