A 39-year-old man attempted to attack Jews with a hammer at a synagogue full of children in Sochi, Russia last Friday and was arrested by police. The attacker arrived at the synagogue with a hammer during a children's activity and tried to break into the building. The security guard tried to stop him, but the suspect hit the gate with the hammer, kicked it and entered the courtyard. Police later arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect. Russian sources reported that the attacker has a psychiatric background and acted on instructions received from an unknown person through a messenger.
