A disturbing incident of antisemitic violence occurred on Wednesday morning outside the Foggy Bottom Metro Station in Washington, D.C., when an Orthodox Jewish man was physically assaulted and subjected to antisemitic rhetoric by an assailant.
The victim, Ariel Golfeyz, is a member of Kesher Israel Synagogue, located less than a mile away from the attack, and was wearing a yarmulke when he was attacked. The assailant punched him repeatedly, knocking off his headphones, and grabbed his neck from behind. The altercation continued on the ground and in nearby bushes until the victim bit the assailant’s leg, at which point a Metro Transit Police Department Special Police Officer to intervene and apprehend the assailant.
During the attack, the assailant spouted anti-Semitic conspiracies, including claims that Jews have controlled the world’s money and banks for the past 100 years and are responsible for a genocide in Gaza.
Golfeyz sustained multiple bruises and scratches and is currently undergoing medical assessment, testing, and follow-up due to biting the assailant in self-defense.
The MPD has charged the attacker, identified as Walter James, with Assault with Hate/Bias. James had been previously arrested in July for a trio of crimes, including assaulting a police officer.

Sounds like the same gibberish a plaster would say… Brainwashed individual
Sound like gibberish that a paster would say…. Brainwashed individual
Love when blacks stand up for Arabs who were the purveyors of slaves to the New World.
It’s Candace owens’ brother!
The Afican slave trade was started by Arabs. In fact, to this day, the word “Abeed” , slaves, refers to Black people.
First of all, I am extremely grateful to our government for allowing me to buy a house with only 5% down, with 95% financing. Yes, I’m paying 6.624% interest, but I’m making 100s of 1000s of dollars in Real Estate appreciation, that I NEVER would have been able to do without an INTEREST mortgage.
And the Fed runs the mortgages, not Jews.
Oh, and by the way, Communism and Socialism, which speak against Capitalistic greed, was INVENTED by Jews. Any thanks??
Just another deranged ########
Too many of them in North America
Were the police present and watching and only intervened when the victim was injured, or did they arrive on the scene at the time the victim was injured?
Another democrat Biden voter.
He’s a black hebrew Israelite. Brainwashed with lies and hate they are a dangerous cult enemy of the Bnei Yisrael.
Same bottom line:- If the savage would have had his hands chopped off after attacking this police, this 2nd attack would not have occurred
This guy is a deranged nutcase who was around the GW campus during the pro-Hamas demonstrations back in May. He was subdued and held for MPD by a GWU security officer, not a metro police officer. In relative terms, downtown D.C. has not recently experienced such overtly anti-semitic events although there have been the usual incidents of graffiti and anti-semitic signs at the university protests and near the WH and Israeli embassy.
How many Jews have supported civil rights? How many of us have generally encouraged, been kind, or assisted in so many ways?
Very sad that hate has such a fertile ground for so many people.
drek. Let him go to Gaza to help, if he feels so bad for the poor fakestinians.
