The Leicester Hebrew Congregation rabbi's house and car have been targeted by antisemitic vandals in three nocturnal attacks over the past three weeks.

Bricks twice shattered windows of Rabbi Shmuli Pink's shul-owned property, half-a-mile from the city centre synagogue. On another occasion, a brick was thrown through his car window.

Rabbi Pink said that although no one was injured, "this was not a pleasant experience. However, we are remaining strong."

The minister, who lives with his wife Rifki and their seven children, praised the efforts of the local police. "We are very happy with what the police are doing. They are responding excellently."
