Three hooligans last night penetrated the house of the aged Chassidic Rabbi, Jonah Frankel in Dragonerstrasse.
They levelled their revolvers at the terrified daughter of the Rabbi and knocked down the Rabbi, who was at his desk engaged in study.
The Rabbi, who sustained serious injuries, was covered in blood and did not regain consciousness until after several hours.
The Rabbi’s daughter states that the hooligans wore Nazi uniforms. The police, however, claim that it was an ordinary case of robbery, as the hooligans robbed some money from the house.
