“The woman has been taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the man was treated at the scene for minor injuries.”
The police also said there was no evidence to suggest the attack was racially motivated.
However, Dr Dvir Abramovich, chariman of Australia’s Anti-Defamation Commission, told the Herald Sun that “if this assault, which is shocking on many levels, was in fact driven by antisemitism, it should be investigated as a hate-crime.
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this ugly and violent attack on individuals who were visibly identifiable as Jews, and our thoughts are with the victims.”
