Police have charged a man for ramming his vehicle into the front gates of a synagogue in Brisbane, Australia, on Friday evening.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli tweeted on Saturday that “This will be very distressful for the Jewish community in Queensland. I have spoken to Jewish leaders, as well as police, and I want to assure Queenslanders we are taking this seriously.”

Crisafulli continued, “This is another signal as to why we have put strong laws before Parliament to protect all people where they worship. … Police will update Queenslanders with further details today.”
