Simultaneously with the present labor disturbances raging here, the police were compelled to concentrate on the centre of the city in order to protect the public buildings when the demonstrators made an attack on the Northern Railway district. This gave an opportunity to a horde of hooligans who broke the windows and looted goods from Jewish shops. Considerable damage was done, in particular, to the shops of Davie Leibovicic, Leon Gutman, David Baltar and Avram Felcian.
It is not clear whether the attack was prompted by anti-Semitism or was merely hooliganism consequent on the present general unrest.
