"An Austrian student who was attacked on a train and called a 'Jewish slut' was accused by police of acting provocatively by reading a book about Jewish people.
The student, 19, was attacked by three men on the Vienna underground while she was reading the historical book The Jew in the Modern World for a Jewish studies course.
The woman, who has not been named, was cruelly called a 'child murderer' and a 'Jewish slut' by her attackers, who also pulled her hair, according to The Times.
She said she managed to run out of the train at Stephansplatz square and escape from her alleged attackers before approaching two police officers for help.
The student told Austrian radio station Ö1 that one police officer's first reaction was to ask her: 'Why do you have to read such a book now in this conflict situation?'
His alleged comments appeared to refer to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which saw an outbreak of violence last month.
She claimed the officers suggested it was provocative to be reading the historical book, before adding that the attack couldn't have been anti-Semitic as she was not Jewish...
It comes after campaigners said there was a 'horrific surge' in anti-Semitic attacks in the Britain in May which 'surpassed anything we have seen before'..."
She also claimed that the two officers told her to 'forget' about the alleged attack and not bother going to a police station to report the incident.
