Dr Cohen, himself a member of the Tree of Life synagogue, added: “My job isn’t to judge him. That’s a pretty awesome responsibility. My job is to take care of him.
”He was severely injured and he got great care here. Many of the people that attended to him were Jewish and they’re heroes.
“They did like the cops did. They did their job. They went and they confronted the problem, and they were true to their core beliefs and I’m very proud of them."
Dr Cohen, who was present at the hospital when Mr Bowers was admitted, said the patient was “scared and confused”.
