Anthony Lambinus, who is in his upper 30s, is also accused of calling the septuagenarian a “Zionist pig.”
The Seattle Police Department is investigating Anthony Lambinus for the alleged hate crime of assaulting an unnamed 71-year-old Jewish man in Seattle, Wash., on Monday, according to a redacted police report that the department shared with JNS.
Lambinus, who was born in 1987, allegedly called the Jewish man a “Zionist pig,” according to the victim. A witness told police officers that Lambinus was “standing over” the victim, who lay on the sidewalk, and was “punching him in the face.”
“After I concluded my investigation, I determined Anthony assaulted the victim due to his perception of the victim being Jewish,” the unnamed officer who filed the report stated. “The victim believed he was targeted because he is Jewish.”
