Warsaw, Poland - Man Who Attacked Chief Rabbi Sentenced

Warsaw, Poland - A court gave a two-year suspended sentence to a man who admitted attacking and insulting Poland's chief rabbi on a Warsaw street earlier this year.

The man was convicted of using violence and racially motivated hate speech, but was spared the maximum punishment of five years in prison, a court spokeswoman said.
During the trial, the man admitted that he provoked the incident by shouting "Poland for the Poles" at Rabbi Michael Schudrich and other Orthodox Jews.
