Anti-Semitic insults, punches, and kicks in the center of Prague

A group of three racist skinheads attacked several young people they believed to be Jews on the Old Town Square in the center of Prague. First, they shouted vulgar insults and provocative slogans (including Long Live Mengele) at them, and then two skinheads attacked two people from the group with fists and kicks. Two of the attackers were later sentenced to suspended sentences. The case demonstrates the efforts of anti-Semitic skinheads to assert their physical dominance through violence in public spaces.
