A violent altercation erupted in San Jose over the weekend when multiple men were caught on camera ganging up on an individual and restraining him to the floor, an incident police say is being investigated as a potential antisemitic hate crime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fight occurred Sunday afternoon in popular shopping district Santana Row<\/a> and reportedly escalated from a verbal altercation that may have involved suspects hurling antisemitic language, the San Jose Police Department (SJPD) said.<\/p>\n

“The victims alleged that the suspects used antisemitic language during the altercation,” police said. “The incident is currently being investigated by the Assaults Unit as a possible hate crime.”<\/p>\n
